Default RE: gp lancair wings snapping

Rube:

The wing broke outside the joiner, at the side of the fuselage. The joiner is still there but it is hidden behind the rib. The failure was the bottom main spar cap failing in tension at the end on the joiner.

I'd say camdyson is right. The spars are undersized.
