After reading the thread on indestructable planes:
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_3370440/tm.htm
It gave me an idea, since I am a noobie,maybe it has already been thought of but I was wondering if they don't make planes or parts out of Lexan plastic, Do you think they should start?
I mean propellers, fuselage, maybe even wings or covering for them. Its light, durable and touted as indestructable. Why don't we use it for our plane parts?
Consipiracy? Maybe we would never buy extra parts again if they never broke...?
Too Heavy?
Any Thoughts?
Clear Lexan
Lexan polycarbonate is one of the most widely known "plastics". Lexan sheet with its unique combination of high impact strength, flame retardancy, and ther****rmability makes it ideally suited for security applications. No other plastic can match Lexan's combination of light transmittance (clarity), and the ability to withstand extreme impact.
In thicknesses of .125", Lexan 9034 sheet will transmit 86% of the light. Lexan 9034 is UV stabilized, has a heat deflection temperature of 270 degrees F at 264 PSI, and has a smoke density rating less than 75. Lexan 9034 is engineered for window glazing as well as for sign applications. In addition to colorless (clear), Lexan 9034 is available in solar gray and bronze in thicknesses from .080" to .500".
Lexan XL is a solar grade sheet which provides superior UV resistance in addition to offering high thermal insulation values. Applications for Lexan XL include skylights, space enclosures, covered walkways, and sloped and vertical glazing.
Lexan Margard provides the superior impact resistance of Lexan 9034 with the advantage of an abrasion resisting state-of-the-art coating. Lexan Margard is unsurpassed in high vandalism areas such as schools, bus stops, public buildings, storefronts, shopping malls, and wherever clarity, safety, and security are required.
