>There seem to be a lot of frayed threads holding up that telltale...
What is the telltale thread made of? If it is a Kevlar/aramid tow, then that fraying is not abnormal nor is it serious. --Bill -------------------- |

What is the telltale thread made of? Kevlar, according to a person in the know a few posts ago. It is not surprising that any damage was already visible right from the start; after all, the tell-tale was never locked in place so must have been thrown around quite a bit during launch and descent (and was tested for those conditions).
