Wel weer toepasselijk dat het wordt getweet... :lol:

AFAIK is de romp 'gewoon' van een aluminium-legering... :roll:

EDIT: I stand corrected... 't Is toch composite.

Hoe dan ook zijn de huidige composites vaak sterker dan hun metalen broeders... Alleen het repareren is vaak moeilijker, deels doordat er minder kennis van is/tot nu toe minder mee is fout gegaan, en deels omdat composites minder homogeen zijn dan 'de goeie ouwe metalen plaat'.

Grtz,

Nope... Re-inforced glasfiber/koolstofvezel + resin... Kunststof dus! (En zo te zien dubbellaags met "honingraad" als versteviging).
