I rarely get the chance to rattle Brent's cage, though, so I took the opportunity. Lots of good comments about Nylaflow, both pro and con. I must say I'm still not sure which I'll use when I get that far. I'll probably assemble the Nylaflow that came with the kit, and then see how happy I am. And then, if I get a big tax refund, maybe I'll buy DHI lines. I dunno. But at least now I have lots of information, fact, rumor and opinion to guide me. Concerning certification, I have fought that battle with NASA, but not the FAA (yet). It seems like there's no agency motivation for saying "yes, you can fly" but a lot of motivation for saying "give me enough tests and analysis so that if there ever is a problem, no matter how unlikely, I can still keep my cushy government job". While I'm sure that there are good people in both agencies (I suppose I've offended yet another group, eh?) the whole system seems to be spring-loaded to the "No, you can't" position. Sometimes it amazes me that anything gets government permission to fly at all. - Rob Wolf >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
