<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For the last two planes or so I started putting a
hose clamp around the fiberglass tube sleeve inside the fuse and tighten it just
enough so the wing tube can't easily move due to vibration. In one of my
planes this is now in place for the second year, and I have no visible wear to
the end stops inside the wing panels.</FONT></DIV>

ideas</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I have a minor problem with a wing tube socket. The stop at the inside
end of the tube is a 1/4" piece of wing tube material with a slot cut in it so
it fits inside the tube and glued in place. After two seasons of flying, for
whatever reason, the wing tube can now push itself past this stop
and wedge in the tube socket. It is a minor annoyance, but I was
pondering possible fixes. One was to cut teeth into an old wing tube and grind
a bit of the existing stop out, then pushing an 1/8 plywood disk to the
bottom of the tube and securing with a few drops of foam safe CA.</DIV>

<DIV>Anyone run into this problem before and have alternative methods of
repair? Thanks.</DIV><BR><BR>Bob Kane<BR>getterflash@yahoo.com
