RE: No more ARF's for me
Well, if the plywood they used for the box actually extended to the top and bottom of hte wing and was actually glued to the spars, then it would be a non issue. I found the wing that broke off last night and discovered that not only was the plywood not glued to the spars, the spars were not glued to each other. The spars consist of two long pieces on both the top and bottom, and I can see no glue at all between the two pieces. I can also see that the wing snapped right off at the fuse, spars and all, and since there were no pieces of spar at the crash site, proves that the spars weren't glued in well at all to the center fuse nor the plywood sheeting. Funny thing is, aside from ribs 4 & 5 being cracked, the rest of the wing is fully intact.
