Hello, I have a couple of questions on this matter.

I have seen pictures of relled motors stick, without boron
fibers. Instead of them they have a rolled wire. I think
its tungsten wire. So, my questions are:

-it's tungsten?
-How it compares to boron the overall strenght this method?

Finally, I heared that boron fibers are dangerous.
Why? And what are the special care to handle them?

Some time ago, one modelist toldme that is very dangerous
if one boron "explode" (I think it refers to the
motorstick colapsing, breakin boron too).

Thanks in advance.
