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? Mike Palmer <>< Mike, I too tore the brackets on my TD. Stoddard Hamilton looked at them and said it was due to the plating that I had done. This made sense to me and the new gear and brackets have held up nicely. Robin Young 286YM
