This is just a WAG............but from reading the Specs on the -27
from Schleichers website, they mention making use of new materials. One
notably is the Carbon/Polyethelyne hybrid. I've used "this" material
and find it noticably less robust than regular carbon cloth.

I believe this material is used in the cockpit area (where pure carbon
is not a good choice), but don't have the reference for it. It would be
easy enough to ask the dealer about, or someone that has repaired ASW 27
wing.
