Hi all,
I recollect an accident report from Canada where a composite aircraft
crashed due delaminating. The investigation revealed that the builder had
been using a Kerosene heater to keep his shop warm during the curing phase.
Apparently this led to a deposit on the surface which ultimately caused the
delaminating. So in short, Kerosene heater's are probably not a great
idea.
I did not read this accident repost first hand, perhaps someone else on the
forum did and my be able to add more detail
Regards, Paul (363)
