Default Great Planes Pitts--cabane brackets--again

We have had a very few cases of the uper cabane brackets stress cracking and failing. this is one of the many areas of an aircraft like this we recommend the modeler keep an eye on throughout its use, just as you would clevises, control horns, flying wires, etc.

Future kits ARE using a slightly different bracket to try to avoid the few failures we have seen; however, by FARRRR the majority of users have had no difficulty whatsoever with the stock configuration.
