Hi Steve

should have said spar joiner failure as john crisp reported on his(also a 30cc)aparently john lives 1hour south of me--insane power must be a southern addiction!

after you get real good landing like this you will be amazed when one day in an emergency you will have to slam it through final turn close in and set it up for heavy weight landing and plant it on the runway in an instant --3point no bounce no sprung landing gear!

this bring up someting else---do not land this way dead stick---dead stick is fly more like low wing loading landings.

also- belive it or not the tower arf .40 trainer will almost do a heavy type landing--with low power setting(the one ive done it with is my sons 2 x crash repaired slightly heavy and beat up 15 year old airplane with os .40

i cant sleep while waiting for the gee bee!
