开云体育Billy, Aziz, Geoff and Byron - Thank you for your responses which I greatly appreciate. Aziz and Geoff - what is the material used for the sails you bought from France and India respectively. ?Is it Dacron or something better and move UV resistant?

Be careful about the Ultralam from India, I have one plane from India that has never flown or been out of the hangar, no sun light, that has delaminated somewhat. RandKar has made no attempt to cover it in warranty and I've been a dealer for them for years.

开云体育Hello,If I could add my 2 cents worth here… The fabric often referred to as “Ultralam” on X-Airs is not Ultralam at all. The shiny material on X-Airs is Dimension Polyant 180LL - a simple mylar/dacron laminate made in Germany that has no special properties. It was developed for the windsurfing market in the 1980’s and was relatively cheap. True Ultralam was made in the the UK by a company (GTS) that has since folded - so the fabric is no longer available. This was a a laminate using Tedlar instead of mylar, which made the cloth virtually UV proof and was rated good for 15 years of sun exposure. This was used extensively on Thrusters in the UK and was certified there for that use. It was an incredibly expensive fabric at the time but represented great value. There is no similarity between these two fabrics other than a shiny finish. We’ve seen many problems with X-Air skins made form 180LL. The lamination can fail under loads where the forces are applied unevenly (eg where a line of stitching is not as straight as it should be) which weakens the cloth alarmingly. The mylar outer coating also becomes brittle over time and can crack. For these reasons we refuse to use 180LL in any of the skins we make at Wingtech. Our hard won reputation for good work is too valuable. We now make X-Air skins only in Dacron. It is hard wearing, comes in a great range of colours and results in really nice looking skins.?? I won’t comment on the quality of skins made by other manufacturers but can say that after 30 years in the industry, our skins for X-Airs, Thrusters & Drifters are as good as you will find anywhere. Sorry to rant but these things are important to me. I hate the idea of pilots getting skins that are anything less than 100% in quality, workmanship or finish. We’re talking about aviation here… not billy-carts after all.? Cheers Alan Daniel WINGTECH

开云体育The Ultralam they are using is basically a clear lamination applied to normal Dacron. As mentioned by John, it seems to have a mind of its own and will without warning just peel off. What is worse and I think this happened in Ireland was it trapped moisture underneath and started to rot the fabric.Alan Daniels ??? is the fabric expert, perhaps you should email him because he is work with nothing but these fabrics are probably 30 years or more John palmettoe@...
