		  My main concern for safely in our aluminum and chromoly tube structures is cracking of tubes and welds. 



They unusually occur in those hidden areas that are hard to inspect. 



	




I saw this posted under the chutes thread. Is this something to be overly concerned with? 



Do motorcycles have the same issues? Ive just never heard of this in cycles. I thought metal fatigue was not that prevalent in our light non aerobatic planes.



My plane does not have a chute and my instructors challenger does not have a chute..



I do plan on finding a used one to put on it later just in case.



Thanks,

Grant
