Hi Guys The A-10 that Helijet spoke of was mine. It did indeed have a crack in the starboard nacelle right where it joins the fuse section. After close inspection it was evident that there was some poor glue to skin contact and I went in an removed as much of the excess glue around the bond areas and backed it up with fiberglass. It has not flown since but is solid.
