RE: Composite-ARF Lightning Build Thread
Was there this much panic on BVM's web site when tail's were falling off King Cats? Why did they figure the skin would take the full load of the whole tail? I know there was no reinforcement structure inside. Don’t try to tell me it was CARF’s fault, it was not their design!! I don’t believe for a minute that the stab broke from normal use, something tells me there’s more to the story then we are being told. If you want to try to compare this to full scale, if you were landing a full-scale plane and hit a wing on the ground, would you go and fly it again with out proper inspection and repair? Do you think that if you had large cracks in you wing panels that the internal structure alone will hold the wing together? I don’t thing so.
