Stop Start - I suggest you do a search on Kapton - you'll find that I'm one of the most fervent advocates against the stuff! The reality of the matter is that there have been no instances of problems with it on the L1011. I've sat down with both LMSC and Delta and gone over this issue thoroughly - and I have to say I've been impressed by their prevention programme. (Unlike that on the DC10/MD11/747!!)
Now, this thread has been so far rather civilised ... do you mind terribly if we keep it that way, please?
