Posted: Fri Oct 30, 2009 3:13 pm Post subject: rear spar reinforcement

After looking at the pictures of the wing failures,  I am glad

 I made a simple reinforcement of the rear spar  where the 

 pushrod goes through the spar.The hole is rather  large and

 is very close to the bottom spar cap. I have flown  100 hrs

 so far this year and I always fly within the  limitations of the

 airplane. After 61 years of flying I find It is  best to read the

 book and do what it says.You can find the  attachment at

 It is well written and very easy to  do.

I find this a much more logical thing to do than any of the things espoused by the LAA. It actually fixes something that might be a problem (I think it is a problem, but that's an opinion, and should be considered such).
