By the way it fractured at the end my uneducated guess would be harmonic resonance
in that tube. If your plane was covered the fabric would dampen the vibration.
The good news is because your plane isn't covered it was easy to spot on your preflight!

I sat at the airport for about 2-1/2 hours this morning. >>
Weather is upsetting everything in the UK too.
Fairford, one of the largest Airshows of the year is set for this weekend.
The Queen was there to review the RAF yesterday (It is 90 years since the
Royal Air Force was formed. The first flying arm in the world independent of
the army. Up until then it had been the Royal Flying Corps and essentially
an Army organisation)
The Queen reviewed the troops and planes , including the Battle of Britain
Flight of a Spit, and Hurri and a Lanc.and just as she drove off the heavens
opened up. The squaddies were marching off and the splashes from the rain
rebounding from the tarmac was bouncing almost knee height
Today they have announced that todays airshow is cancelled. Presumably
because the main public areas, which are of course grass, are waterlogged.
An announcement about the cancelleation of tomorrows performance will be
made tonight.
The money this has cost is phenomenal. There are Flying Display teams here
from all over Europe, fighter, bombers, refuelling planes, the Raptor, the
Eurofighter. Plus all the ground equipment and men required to keep this lot
in the air. Must be millions of pounds wasted.
On a smaller scale we have a fly in at my strip this weekend. Weather now at
mid day is pretty gusty, scattered heavy storms forecast. Supposed to be
improving later but I think there will be very few camping overnight. That
means the BBQ is down the pan. A few of us will go to a local pub and hope
that tomorrow, which is supposed to show improvement is up to standard but
we had over an inch of rain yesterday so everything will be pretty mucky.
Fingers crossed.
Cheers
Pat

Since it's only for fabric.... Why don't you just take it off....?
I agree with crash....The fabric keeps it from vibrating...

I could have taken it off long ago but I always wanted the option to cover the
cage. I'm getting the Dremel out now...

If you can just take it off.... Then it's not structural....
More for aerodynamics.

Fatigue cracks.
If they are at a vibration node they will happen eventually.
Here's my not so humble opinion: wire feed welds are stronger,
mostly by virtue of the
high nickel alloy but also more rigid in a narrow band than gas
welding, making them
more susceptible to an earlier crack. A gas weld leaves a softer
condition around the weld
and I try to reduce this a little by sponge-water quenching. Right
after the first hard landing
I may (or may not) notice the weld joint taking a little set. After
that it has reached a happy state
of strength that will endure many more similar impacts with no
further distortion.

Now, since you gotta fly and I want to fly, let's fly and keep the thread as a
suggestion to others to do a preflight, OK. [Rolling Eyes]

When a you can become airborne by the time you get to the top of the
number nine, isn't a runway like THAT rather insulting to a KOLB
airplane ? <grin>
