ORIGINAL: Deadbeat

sportflr after reading the thread again and rereading my post . if it came across that i was talking down to the guys that fly a arf you have apologies that was not my intentions . as far as being set in my ways that i am . the book im talking about is a very good book if you know how there built you can do a respectical repair job if need be ! 'in a 2 peice wing the tube spar carries the load as it goes through the fuse . so it is part spar part joiner the root has the most stress . years ago when the midwest cae out with the 300 s the were shedding there stabs so alot of guys would put in tail braces and carbon fiber . that wasnt the fix it was flutter that was ripping the wings off . as far as me not flying arfs i have flown many of them and have repaired more than a few. im waiting on my EXTREME FLIGHT YAK 88 in. 54 as we speak. if you read my post i said the wing will snap for 2 reason's poor design or poor contruction . im going to add one previous damage .
