The differences
Convolute wound glass is made from actual woven fiberglass cloth like you would laminate with and its made with a higher temp epoxy normally. For all purposes of OUR use the Convolute is a much stronger ans superior prodct then FWFG
FGFG- also known in full name as Filiment Would Fiberglass. is done by taking actual strands or indvidual strings of fiberglass and wound around a mandrel in a back and forth motion and also has the same temp of expoxy used. This is a great product and I as well as several others (brings back the 100K in a day event) have pushed this product pretty hard. Its weak point is getting spiral fractures which is actually a kink in the tube. Normally once the fracture starts it wont stop and it weakens the product.
But both great materials and I swear by and use both lots..
So John, any chance I can borrow the nutsert device sometime between now and oktoberfest? Sounds like a great way to attach the E-bay, and I want to try it.
We are Good to Go with our scheduled and approved launch on Saturday April 5th and Sunday April 6th, from the North Site, subject to change – Mostly cloudy and High Winds predicted. Range and waiver should be active by 9AM on Saturday. The Pawnee National Grassland remains fragile and dry, so extra precautions are in order. Please stay on the authorized roads and please don’t park more than 100’ off the road at the flight line.
