If it's made of carbon fibre, yes, completely. If of glassfibre construction then partly mineral, the rest organic.

Thanks for the explanation

I think you did not get my drift?

Fugue,

I had to look that one up.
i hope the musical variant and not the phyciatric one?

Meanwhile I keep to the 24 hour voluntary continence as proposed by Asturias.

Bolkhovitinov it is - actually the XI-L but as with all Russian aircraft actual nomenclature is not always clear

Yak-16?

Dropped in favour of an agricultural Biplane single that was built in the thousands for over 50 years!
