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? Hugh G.
