[s-cars] Rear brake saga- will the questions *never* end?

[Tom Green]

Thanks, Joe.
I haven't heard anything of this.  I was more concerned about the  
ability to stand up to windshield wipers without rubbing the plastic  
dull.

One aircraft I flew had wipers for low speed use--they would fly off  
if used at high speed--not needed then anyway.   The windscreen had  
an outer layer of glass laminated to the front canopy for a wiper  
surface.    The screen would build up static charge in flight, and if  
an imperfection could concentrate the voltage, separate the outer  
glass layer with explosive force.  Usually no other damage if it  
missed the engines, except for stretching the nylon seat restraints

If this one works, it would be worth looking into.  With the  
windshield a structural member, changing it every couple of years is  
a big deal.
