Morne,

You are absolutly correct, building experience is important and up to the builder on any jet or any model. But the things that we rely on being done right that we cannot see without cutting open the wing or other structure MUST be done right at the factory. If I, as a builder, do not properly glue the hinges or control horns and they fail, that is on me. If a factory glued hinge or horn or tab fails, that's on them. And if my airplane goes and hurts someone because something failed that was done be the factory and I could not reasonably have known, it is the factories fault. Now that the factory is on notice about this issue, they need to notify everyone involved, even if only be posting on RCU, what should be done. And "pulling on the tabs with effort" is not a fix. The wings need to be cut open at the root and the tab attachment beefed up. Plain and simple.

On another note, I mentioned earlier that my Dragon canopy came off in flight a week ago Saturday. The replacement was not in stock at Skymaster. They had to fabricate one, which they did. It arrived at my house this morning. One week. Excellent job Anton and John!
