New! Lighter, tougher plane bodies

Φ "Has a backbone and hide as tough as an armored tank!" That's what Ben J. Mauro, President of Taylor-craft, Inc., says about the new Taylorcraft plane — with its plastic exterior achieved by combining Reichhold's POLYLITE Polyester Resins with fibrous glass.

As one of the top three builders of small aircraft under $10,000, Mr. Mauro calls this new advance in his field "the first major development in over fifteen years".

Says Mr. Mauro of this PoLYLiTE-fibrous glass body: "It gives the small plane owner many advantages he never dreamed possible". Among these he lists : "Lighter weight combined with greater strength-to-weight ratio and tensile strength . . . increased safety . . . reduced maintenance costs . . . more speed . . . excellent resist­ance to corrosion and agricultural chemicals.. . superior thermal and acoustical properties."

In addition, reinforced POLYLITE nets him production savings, states Mr. Mauro. His assembly line moves faster because there is no tooling and riveting. His tool cost is minimal. And, with no expensive dies involved, he can change design quickly . . . a big "edge" on competition.
