What do you guys have against plastic? The fly-by-wire(falls like a leaf if it loses electrical control) 777 I helped design a few years ago has "plastic" tailfeathers. Now that you know will any of you refuse to fly at 40,000 feet at close to the speed of sound over the North Pole in the 777? And through thunder storms(I am talking BIG lightning bolts) throttling down low over 14,000 foot cold and snowy Longs Peak preparing to land at Denver International? Is there no plastic in your BMWs that you four wheel drift around the curves on 101 high above the Pacific Ocean? Or have any of you refused to paddle off shore, way off shore, in your "plastic" kayaks, now that seal-skin boats are out becoming more difficult to find? Hey everybody this is 1998. Welcome to a world of new materials that are far superior to metal for their designed purposes. Dale - -- $ dale-reed@worldnet.att.net Seattle, Washington U.S.A. $
