Is there a good reason for bypasses to be made from carbon fibre. The ones I have seen don't look like they would contain a blade failure any better than glasscloth. Is it simply fashion?

Hi Harry:
I think it is a multiple of reasons. Weight, strength, fashion, moderate heat resistance, thin side walls and stiffness. There is no way that CF will retain a blade, even the Kevlar ring that BV used to make supposedly did not hold one many years ago (I did not see it, but I was told so)...
