RE: The new Tornado sport jet
12 total flights & about 6 or so touch and go's before the first one fell out........i took Henry's advice and CA'd the rails back in, next landing the opposite main fell out. so yes without a doubt I'd cut it open and fix it by adding hardwood rails and actually gluing them in. otherwise when they do let go they bust hell out of the sheeting and it fuglys up that area.
i left my Fin tool on the job Friday so i didn't have an easy way to notch the other ribs and make the rail a continuous thickness and had to notch them like the originals, but i remade all 4 rails out of Russian Birch so they won't be breaking so easily again.
