By now, a detail of the VG rails side view: cool, no doubt looks cool!

No, no jackass - we can't all know all the details about the technology. I thought that the claim about no epoxy at all came directly from C4 and was wondering what exactly it meant. After your explanation I understand now that they speak about 100% carbon cloth, with no glass fiber, and of a superior quality than previously. I wonder though if the current Flaps and Falcons are made of carbon/glass composit - I always believed they were 100% carbon too. I hope the C4 girl peeks in sooner or later with some info. Perhaps we should ping her by PM or email - if she does not come regularly and does not use
RSS notification about C4 threads, there is little chance she spots this thread
As for the rails - I wonder how long they keep (the old ones) on your blades. I find them extremely thin and fragile, and lost practically all of them within few weeks of use. I though about getting rails from Breier, which are much more solid, but am not sure if it would not make the blade less flexible and responsive. Well, now I broke one blade anyway, so will have to decide whether I get a new C4, or rather other blades
