I flew my gee bee again today. I found most of the pieces. Yes, a total loss!!! I was inverted making the turn to final for a low pass and the wing exploded. Some of the crowd saw it, all of them heard it. I have been flying for 22 years and have never seen a wing separation like this. I was not pulling more than 3 or 4 G's and the plane was in real good shape. I once lost an Ultra Sport to nylon bolt failure but that made little or no sound, this was truly an explosion. Witnesses agreed that the wing came off in many pieses. I will get another gee bee but this time I will not use the nylon bolts. Not sure if that was the cause but not taking any chances.
