It'd suck if so, because, that's like 3k down the hole! |
Carbon Fiber is stronger & tuffer then Kevlar which stronger & tuffer then fiberglass.They make Sikorsky airframes out of this Which they previously made out of Kevlar.F1,CART,IRL cars are made out of this.This is a very strong to weight ratio composite material.The MFG's Wouldn't EVEN think about sellig these if they were worried about a simple little chip from a stone which would lead to a fatigue failure, leads to accident,leads to LAW SUIT. If you have the $$$ & want'em don't worry about reliability.
