I see that Aircraft Manufacturing & Development Co. (AMD)

While I believe you are on the winning side in your argument about aircraft
materials, the Zodiac may not be the best example to prove your point. As an
LSA, tt is certified to an industry standard, not an FAA standard. I recently
checked out in one and it even has a "warning" in the cockpit to that effect.
