John,

Nice numbers from HXL yesterday. Can't see anything in the numbers about going mainstream in terms of autos, but I got the hint that the analysts in the conference call were begging to hear about this.

Anyway, the race is on. The Dreamliner went to 50% carbon comosites, so Airbus had to do the same.

And HXL owns the business, more or less.

It's going to take 5-7 years to get mainstream(i.e. - vehicles), IMO, but when it happens...well...I still think this is a 10 bagger at least in ten years(from when I mentioned it in July '09).
