Anyone worth their weight in abs knows “carbon fiber impregnated abs” isn’t going to actually do a FRACTION of the job that literal carbon fiber—or even fiberglass—would do, and this pilot is lucky they didn’t kill someone.
It just goes to show how little people know about carbon fiber and how easily Tricked they are when someone says they mixed carbon fiber into melted plastic… Laughing my fucking ass off
It’s not the strength they were worried about, it was the temperature at which it weakend, which shouldn’t have been a problem according the the information provided to the pilot.
I don’t know the material data sheet was wrong or the person selling it to him was wrong or lying.
We don’t and won’t know, because they didn’t try to identify it.
