[QUOTE="aroy, post: 377656, member: 16090"] Fibre glass has glass filaments and carbon fiber has carbon filaments. Both use a variety of plastics for holding the fibers. The advantages are that the bodies are tough and rarely crack as fast as metal bodies, but they flex a bit, so one must be careful while designing the bodies to see that nothing breaks when the body flexes. These materials are much tougher than magnesium allow. What is not that good is the older Polycarbonate bodies which are relatively fragile. [/QUOTE]
