Default many questions?

Hey Grazzhopper: I had a friend lose his SE the other day while doing some wild and hairy snap rolls. Post mortum showed all was working fine. He rebuilt the plane and went to do a range check. I noticed the aileron on the right wing was drooping, when he tried to adjust it he found the servo mount had pulled loose, and was flopping in the breeze. This wing was not damaged in the 1st crash, so we decided it may have been guilty for the first crash. You may wan't to try to re-enforce the servo mounts. One way I can think of would be to cut out another identical mount, and laminate it to the original. If I remember it is slot keyed into the ribs, so on the doubler you would probably have to either leave off the tongue that fits into the slots in the ribs, or make the slot in the ribs big enough to accept a double thick mount, if there is enough wood to do it with out compromising the strength of the ribs. Always glad to help if I can. Garry
