        RAND ROBINSON, Moldless composite construction 1972 or so!!

There was an all fiberglass composite airplane certified in the late
60's
in Midland Texas by a dentist. I forgot the name of the airplane.

The primary structure of the RAND ROBINSON was and still is wood.
What little plastic there was in the orginal airplane was not load
bearing.
