There is quite a debate on the F16 forum about "mast tip weight" and Alu v Carbon masts.
Any opinions? Seems to some folks carbon is the cure for everything. I'm not so sure.
btw- I think the British army is going to start making tanks (partly) out of carbon. That can't help world prices.
Surely it's the US defence requirements that are pushing the price of Carbon......
Oh for the love of god do we have to do this here! Keep it to sailing please!
Carbon is better than aluminum, for the weight savings alone.
Putting a weight in the tip is just stupid. You either allow carbon sticks unrestricted or ban it!
