| Quote: | ker, the difference though is that the TRUE cantilever part of the wing on
the HD is outboard of the wing locker area due to the fact that the wing
on the HD is a three part deal, the 8 foot center section and two 8'
outboard panels, both of which are solid and shorter and the wing locker
is essentially part of the center wing section, not part of the seperate
and shorter wing panels.

My lawd!!! I built mine incorrectly!!! I put them in the outboard wing
sections according to plans!!!
This whole rehashed, dead horse, emotional, subjective,
wait-a-minute-I-have-an-opinion-and-I'll-state-it-until-the-cows-come-home
thread on XL wing structure "shortcomings" would be laughable were it not
for the verbal irony of the spelling of the word "failiers" which began the
debacle. If you don't trust the testing done to the design then you want to
decide whether to continue with the build. If unsure about lockers then
omit them.
If you're an aeronautical engineer with the background that Chris and Nick
have then state a factual analysis. It's unfortunate that the NTSB reports
don't guide us to objective reasoning and discussion, but as someone pointed
out astutely as few days back, they're not going to be as thorough or
skilled in investigating homebuilt accidents as builders demand. Much of
their input comes from non-aviation "eye witnesses" who, when interviewed,
might be tempted to inject some "aviation sounding" term to impress.
Just this morning on AVweb was the report that Dick Rutan suffered an engine
seizure in a C-150 and put it down on a road, the engine-out happening while
he was at 1000 feet. News reports cited he was "...lucky to be at a low
altitude" when the cylinder departed. I think we all know that a bit more
altitude in a case like this just might be beneficial. We as listers and
builders who wish to construct the safest possible a/c and help others do
the same, need to deal with fact and not hysteria.
