I had a face to face chat with Ray Stits after that incident.

Now THAT is impressive. He knows Ray personally. Our hero.

He told
me that at the time he was developing the Poly Fiber process he was
also selling plans for airplanes that could be taken home (Playmate
etc.) and stored in the garage. He said that he would not provide a
covering process that would support combustion.

O save us, dear jayzuss, from the hucksters. Notice when Ray sets fire --
on his videotape they get $35 for and is more a shameless and devious
commercial than anything else -- to a ribbon of doped fabric and a ribbon of
his own with PolyBrush on it, it hasn't yet been painted with aluminum flake
OR Aerothane paint, both of which can burn like hell.

The first picture I get of a Stits-covered airplane burnt into a krispy
kritter, I'm going to put it up in a binary group for display. And don't
forget the gasoline accelerant, there, dingaling.

O-wingdingaling, if you don't think vinyl (as well as the explosive aluminum
powder and polyurethane) will burn violently and outgas some vile toxins,
you ought to have your big ears pulled.


I have put a flame to strips of finished Ceconite removed from
airplanes (nitrate dope is used for the first coat) and I must say
that the material burns quite nicely.

Yes, but have you put a flame to strips of finished Stits or Polyfiber, in
order to see that it burns quite nicely?
