Sailplanes are white...because of gelcoat?
I always thought sailplanes were white so the interior structure
wouldn't overheat and approach the glass temperature of epoxy, about 190 F, and fail. And yet I see homebuilt aircraft of wood/epoxy structure painted all colors. So is it the gelcoat that the white color is protecting?
