| Subject: | Allegro 2000 Main Gear |
I have an Allegro 2000 E-LSA with 750 take offs and landings. The main
gear legs have a vertical strip of white tape along the leading and
trailing edges of both right and left legs. The tape on the leading edge
of my right gear leg has a 5 inch long =9Csplit=9D exactly
along the center of the leg thickness. My question is this. Are these
gear legs each made up of two pieces of =9Cfiberglass=9D
that have been laminated together, or are they one piece of solid
=9Cfiberglass=9D? Could this =9Csplit=9Din the
tape indicate that I am developing a structural failure of the main gear
leg, or is it just a result of the flexing of the gear on landing? Has
anyone seen this before in the main gear legs? If so, do you know what
caused it?
