-hi list

after reading all the posts on the wing failure, i

have concluded the only options are to not fly the XL,

fly the XL, or wait to see what the problem really is.

 

as i am still some time away from my first flight, the

only thing i plan to do is not rivet the top skins on

until i have completed the machine and finished my

taxi tests.  i am sorta used to seeing cleco's

sticking out anyway.  maybe i'll become a duct tape

expert.



i respect both sides of the wing issue, but no one

really knows what the problem is, if any, and what to

do about it at this time.  build on and prosper.  for

those already flying, be a 3g max pilot.

John,



This is exactly what I meant in a previous post about things being totally

blown out of proportion. Some people on this list made so many posts about

wing problems that they now have others questioning the integrity!! 



I will freely admit that I am not building an XL, nor is my project anywhere

close to being finished, but I am merely pointing out that NO ONE HAS COME

CLOSE TO SHOWING THAT THERE IS ANY PROBLEM AT ALL!!!!



If I was a cynical guy, I would claim that the RV manufacturer had hired

some guys to throw some sand in our eyes....and they did!



Just as with a very popular TV broadcast, THE SPIN SHOULD STOP HERE! (Pun

intended)



After "....reading all the posts..." one should conclude that:



1) No one has presented any evidence that there is a wing problem

2) No one has presented any evidence that "oil canning" is a problem

3) The manufacturer has presented all his test data, and has offered to

repeat the test at his expense, just to remind everyone that he is

comfortable.

4) All preliminary evidence shows that Pilot Error has been the real cause

of all the accidents, or, at least, no evidence has been given that the A/C

design is at fault.



Your final sentence is most appropriate. In other words, fly the plane

within the limits of what's prudent.
