Well.........

As I was picking my left landing gear off the tarmark after my second flight yesterday, I was amazed that the entire gear mount block (which is quite sturdy) was only attached to the wing ribs (rather poorly), and not glued to the leading edge or the main spar. Is this for real? And i just popped loose from the ribs, didn't even crack any.

On another note, the YS 110 is getting faster. She loads up quite a bit in the turns, but on a good steep, high speed pass, she's fast! Partway through the flight the engine lost power and then came the landing. The endcap to the muffler was rolling around in the cowling - hope that explains the loss of power.

I have a week to get her ready again, what the easiest repair of the gear mount prob, new blocks between leading edge and main spar?
