Who thinks that fiberglass shrinks?
The idea that all aircraft have to be painted white is plain nonsense. The military and commercial companies have been painting their ac different colours for years including black. When this guy talks of fibreglass ac what is he really talking about, there cannot be any large ac or fast jets that are made predominantly from fibreglass. So was he really referring to homemade ac, model ac and/or gliders? I totally agree with you glass matting does not shrink but the resin matrix will change with heat.
