| Subject: | Update on crack in Glasair FT inboard strut attach bracket |
--> Glasair-List message posted by: MPPalmer@aol.com
Remember last year, when I posted a photo of a hairline crack in our Glasair
FT gear bracket? I stop drilled the crack, which seems to have worked for the
year, but decided to fix the crack this year.
When I pulled the bracket (not as easy as it sounds), I found bent ears.
Hmmm... could this be why the cracks? But what bent the ears? Is there a design
flaw in the Glasair FT design? Could your brackets be next?
You can read (and see) all the gory details at

Lots of pictures. Would appreciate any theories. Cliff (Faber) says it's the
first example of cracking there he's seen. (That was as of last year.)
