<DIV>The tube spar sockets for both wings and stabs, need to be installed with
far better support than what is practiced by some. A chordwise vertical ply
support at the end of the tube and at the wing root, with a little epoxy thrown
into the hole for good measure simply will not cut it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There are better, more supportive yet lightweight methods used. I have
explained my method to a few of our readers. I decided to write an
article for KFactor publication and maybe it can help a few more. It assumes
that you build your own wings tho, so beware. </DIV>

reading about what others have to say, and direct discussion, I<BR>suspect
that this maneuver is damaging to most if not all plug-in
wing<BR>models. I offer this as speculation, but there is already enough
evidence<BR>to support the theory, and we are just getting started. I am
claiming that<BR>the reverse avalanche is a more damaging maneuver than the
snap on a 45<BR>down, and that it is unacceptably rough on our
airplanes. If anybody has<BR>data for or against my claim, please speak
up. This is pretty important<BR>stuff. I am just as concerned
about my competitor’s airplanes as I am my<BR>own.<BR><BR>Oh one last thing, I
change my vote on this poll, which means that it is<BR>exactly tied right now
-- 24 to 24. The next question is, if more people<BR>start changing
their mind like I have, is there any way possible to replace<BR>this
maneuver? Maybe we will just have to cope with it like the FAI
guys<BR>must.<BR><BR>Sincerely,<BR><BR>David Flynt</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
