Default RE: Regrettable thing

Hi,

This story is so muddied, who could know what really happened? If this were a grand jury, I don't think there would be any indictments being handed down....

BUT

I think some of these comments are correct! If you buy a composite jet, you should ALWAYS cut the wing open to make sure the manufacturer was smarter than a fifth-grader and designed it properly. You should ALWAYS skin the stabs off of the pivot shaft to make sure there's sufficient glue. You should ALWAYS get in there and inspect everything... even the things you have no way of inspecting without destroying the model (nevermind if that voids the non-existent warranty). If you DON'T do these things, then a failure is always your fault. I'm just sayin'.....
