Trey, are you the same guy looking for a ride in Europe? No wonder the board is not alive with offers. Please don't be the Ugly American, they already hate us enough without your help. Now we all see why. Trey if you have nothing to add to the dabate, keep your pie hole shut. Or is that too dificult? Then have another Doughnut, but please STFU.
Pete, first you have to define what is "better". There is no doubt carbon is lighter and stronger, but it costs more and will snap instead of bend before it breaks. Do you remember that American Airlines Airbus that crashed shortly after take off in NYC a few months after 9-11? It had a Carbon fiber tail that just "snapped off". They inspected all the other Airbus tails and guess what, they found lots of cracked mounts. So in that case, carbon might not have been "better".
