<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 8391565, member: 5833"]Your belief in my omniscience is touching in the face of my admission of how I have more than once taken some convincing to feel sure a jet frame was not plastic. I actually had the same question cross my mind, whether the cuts around the edge could be functional in some way, to allow expansion or relieve pressure. However, jet seems quite rigid to me, more likely to crack than to bend or stretch, even given some mechanical help to do so. If the slots did have a purpose beyond decorative, think they would have to extend into the back to work. I conclude it is just an unusual decoration.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
