Hi Guys,

Well, i got a response from Great Planes. Apparently they believe that the glue joint was poor on the wings. They dont believe that there is any product issues here at all. There was a suggestion in their response that there are areas where no glue could be seen on the joint. This would stand to reason since they are looking a sheared rib, not a delaminated joint.

There is one photo (the sixth one) at the bottom left where this conclusion might be drawn. What they are really looking at though is the delamination of the factory produced joint. There are two pieces of timber that make up the last rib on each wing. This photo reveals a delamination of this factory joint.

THis is the end of it as far as i am concerned. I am thankful i still have all my gear in one piece. I thought i would give you guys an update.

cheers
