On SLSA you can't change them and for some reason many use them on ELSA or home built. I guess they are just easier and cheaper to deal with?
All true Roger -
My theory (for what its worth) is that, in the aviation world, people tend towards conservatism ie what I am used too, what my mate is using, will be just dandy for me and so the obsolete style continues on.
Alternative theory: The more ribs/barbs the better it must be. This group also tend to be the hose clamp over-tighteners (more must be better).
Crud over generalisation I am sure, so apologies to any hurt feelings.
Either way the multi barb (traditional) crowd will defend their use of same, " till the cows come home".
