We had a Lancair wing failure at our field on Sunday the 11th. The fella was landing with flaps down and the right wing folded at the fuse. The plane spun in and was trash bag material when we went out to get the pieces. I have a Lanc with 5 hours on it and, after seeing this, am about to tear off the bottom of the wing and re-enforce the first 12 to 14 inches on either side of center. The other fella may have landed his hard a couple times and compressed the rib and/or cracked the sheeting under the outer part of the gear. That would make the wing very weak at that point. He had no added aluminum plate to tie his gear together, as I do. Maybe thats why I'm still flying? Hmm.
Best of luck to us all![sm=spinnyeyes.gif]
