Hi Fred,
That was the "second" red one, after the first melted!
Prepreg material is no different in temps of having a Tg,
Lancair kits these days are baked.
Another interesting point to consider is that the physical droop is only
one aspect of approaching Tg. You might consider the situation at
Oshkosh for the lucky few parked on an asphalt ramp or taxiway at the
end of July during the airshow. Departing with a high g climbing
turn as people are want to do, and FRP wings softened by heat
could lead to interesting consequences.
