REFLECTOR:Wing Voids in Shaw's Wings

[Scott Derrick]

Ronnie,

I had heard from an inside source who wanted to remain anonymous that 
Velocity had experienced some quality issues with the later shaw wings 
that he wouldn't fess up to and that was part of the reason they(shaw 
and velocity) split the sheets.

Do you know if this is one of the disputed quality issues?
