Default RE: Impact

I haven't looked at the latest instruction manual to see what the current modifications are -- it sounds like a crutch from tail to TE of wing.

From the analysis of failures it is clear that C-ARF are not fans of anyone leaving out the cross fuselage brace/wing anti-rotation pin. There is certainly suspicion being thrown on models where that cross brace has been left out and wing adjusters put in instead -- this is regarded as a departure from recommended practice and not a good thing to do!!

I cannot tell from Kelvin's post above whether the mods effectively mean the cross brace has been left out -- but sounds like it may.
