To the ones of you who are feeling insecure about your wing spars. Here is a quick way to see if you have a real serious problem. For years, when I go to fly a strange plane I will take the wingtip and give it a good shake, in all directions, the good one is the big up and down, if the wing has a serious safety problem it will show a crinkle sound and a spongey movement, verses a ridged movement. If a wing folds it will fold in a gust, so the up, down is what will get weak, not the forward, aft. Another way to check is to get a strong man to place his back of the outer spar and pick up that side of the plane, looking down the spar by someone else. If these little planes pass these test they will fly safety for another 6 months. If you are having a corrosion problem in a bad place mix up some linseed oil and turpentine, and spray with a small sprayer in all inspection holes, good. This will stop it for a while, 3 to 5 years if it makes contact. ===== HAVE A NICE DAY; Jim Howell Uptight39 Gruman OV-1 Mohawker __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
