Default Capiche 50

Hi,

I've been keeping an eye on this thread for a while now as i'm quite impressed with the Capiche (sic)!

But just goin back to Mr. Stein's crash at Sandown (sorry to re-open old wounds!) why did the wing fail (or at least its mount) in Knife edge?I wasn't there so i'm only going off what was said here but t just seems odd since knife edge isn't particularly (normally at least) stressfull on the airframe. I'm not trying to be clever or anything, i'm just curious is all. At least its known that the packing wil stop it happening again.

Its a shame about the crash but theres something worryingly satisfying about seeing a plane turn into model pate, spread all over the field isn't there? Or is that just me and i'm sick or something?! Anyway no offence meant PV. Oh incidentally do you (stein) know if theres a fun-fly nats on this year since the Power nats are off? I know other disciplines are looking to hold there comps else where...

Anyway this is a capiche thread! and i have to agree the guy who's cutting out all of the stuff is a nutter! Anyway well done Malcom Corbin and the test crew - nice little ship you got there.
