Angel's Shadow - RIP

[Lance Van Nostrand]

The upper and lower skins are butt glued.  This is not intrinsic to the
technology.  Rev Pro is the same.  A balsa leading edge is needed, or like a
pylon racer, the LE needs to be sharper so it can be filled with epoxy.

You're probably right.  I haven't raced in years, and when I did it was
quickie and locally.  But I have a few of the composite racers and they're
very light and VERY strong.  My point was simply that the technology is not
terribly new, and has been well proven in many other applications...so I'm
guessing...just guessing that there is a design or manufacturing flaw,
rather than something intrinsic to the technology.
