Pietenpol-List: Metal turtledeck vs. fabric

Post by matronics »

Just my two cents (now less than one cent=2C given the drop in valueslately)=2C metal will dent or bend and can't always be popped back out.Fabric will give. Wood will resist and of course if you push it past thepoint of resisting=2C it will split and fail but it takes a lot to do that.I would long ago have dented or bent my turtledeck in the area behindthe pilot's seat if it were metal.Oscar ZunigaSomeone else's Air Camper NX41CC but I fly it like it was mine =3Bo)San Antonio=2C TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________
