The canopy you received was made by an associate who doesn't have much fiberglass experience and he is long gone. The hair was not a pubic hair, but from somebodies head, probably someone observing the layup process. Also, keep in mind that the aircraft provided for you was for flight testing purposes as a turbine prototype and was NOT production kit quality. The inside of a prototype for testing can be very different than the finished product for sale.

First of all, making a comment like that would turn me away from any product. ANY prototype you send out had better be identical to what the production version will be! Otherwise, how is it a prototype??? It's just another model! When you change it for production it makes your first run "prototypes" only now your customers are the guinea pigs. The only place where IMO it's ok to slack a bit in a prototype is the actual finish quality. (paint) as the prototype will likely be cut apart and modded many times before it reaches production stages.

As for the rest of your story, it's some of the best fiction I've read in a long time! :P
