Then you maybe have another model. And I'm not saying its dipped, but that its either dipped or coated with a very thin CF layer (1 ply)
The current schmiedmann one looks like this on the inside:

Thats not CF but some very coarse (glass?) fibres. So the main structure of the thing is clearly some glassfibre or something and there isnt any CF that gives significant strenght to the structure.

Also on that broken one you also immediately see the white glassfibres.

Maybe I should strenghten it from the inside as a precautionairy measure. It does reduce the ground learance considerably...
