Watch his stuff a lot, good on him for taking it on! I'm sure it will be fine - fixed by a specialist that repairs composites on aircraft.

I mean that's a great job, I'd defy anyone to say with absolute authority why it's any better/worse/indifferent than original.

Given there are PH threads where folks are seeking to carbon wrap otherwise plastic components like wing mirrors tells me carbon expertise on PH isn't very deep :-P

Interesting video that pulled me into quite a few others showing the 675LT rebuild. Thanks

Interested to know why you think that's a great job

I'm not so convinced as I think a lot of what he did is not best ever and there are many aspects of his approach that could be improved
