A few more pics for the factory. I think they are going overboard with the lightening holes, my opinion. On the looser wing, the side that split, I can definitely see missing plywood bits at the really thin points in the spar. But the CF looks intact, so hard to tell if the defect was there from the factory, or if the flapping motion of the wing has over time torn the plywood apart. CF is not elastic as far as I know.
Missing ply at spar tube from CF/ply/CF spar
Missing ply at other side
Other wing is sound, no missing ply
With gear removed it is easy to see that the white Hysol type glue is only applied on the accessible areas. The other side of the spar receiver tube has none of this. Wether that contributes to the tube splitting, or lost ply, at the point the glue stops I don’t know.
