I think he asked the Kevlar question because he thought the details about it's use would tell him (and the audience he appears to be reaching for) important information. My point is it won't, unless you are very knowledgeable about the details of glider structural design for crashworthiness. ... which is actualy based on carbon fibre these days, not Kevlar. Interesting topic, but unfortunately (but understandably) prejudiced by his own personal experiences. Bye Andreas |

I have deliberately avoided giving any conclusions. I just think the statistics are interesting, and that's not in a particularly negative way. Ian Well the conclusion is strongly implied. However if you did not mean to suggest that the guy must be a poor pilot due to his low average flight time, you have my unreserved apology. That of course begs the question, what was the point of your post? Kind regards Paul |
