• Hand-built by our staff of highly skilled, professional technicians to stringent FAA standards.
• Autoclave cured (not cemented) seams give superior strength and durability.
• Glue and solvent are also made from the same nitrile rubber formula in our manufacturing plant to ensure superior quality and consistency of the product.
