Yes, RAZORBACK FABRIC is still producing for the govt. and anyone else that
wants a permanent fabric covering that does not require any annual tests for
deterioration as all other fabrics do. It does weigh more than most GA
fabrics in use at 3.6 oz/yrd but that weight is required on fast, heavy and
aerobatic aircraft (see AC 43.13-1B). Even at that, it is still 17% lighter
than Grade A and 300% stronger and being made of 100% silica glass fabric,
it does not burn, rot, or deteriorate in acid rain or UV. It is still the
only authorized synthetic fabric for use by our military under T.O.1-1A-11
and we sell quite a bit to several militaries each year.
It is applied using the blanket method using butyrate dope to cement it,
taunten it and to seal it. After that, you can top coat it with what ever
you want. The finished product is cheaper than polyesters and is considered
permanent by the FAA. It is FAA-PMA'd, FAA-STC'd, MIL SPEC and ISO 9002. If
you haven't heard of it, that's okay, because we don't over-charge in order
to pay for million dollar ads in the magazines.
If interested, drop us a line.

Stits (Polyfiber) versus Airtech versus Superflite versus Blue River
(Aircraft Finishing Systems)

Are there any more? We're thinking about abandoning Polyfiber and going
to
Airtech and want expecially to hear testimony about Airtech. It's
supposed
to filter out UV rather than reflect it like Polyfiber does with the
aluminum flake paint called Polyspray. And it appears not to be as
labor-intensive as Polyfiber.

BTW, if ol' BoOb from M-Zoora hadda known about UV his harness wuddna fell
apart.

BTW2, we have a ragwing Piper here with Blue River on it. Gack!

Oldcopper, young fella, I tried to be on topic this time. That dadburn
wallerin' M-Zoora porker is always a vexatious distractin' influence,
disturbin' all the good subjects. And he couldn't even build a pigpen
fit
to hold a fat sow in. So he has flew for 5 or 6 decades, but think how
much
DDT and parquat he's huffed.
