you suggest and may do that if I cannot find MK3 wings. I was also interested
in the larger 6" spar in the mk3.....I am 6'4" 250lbs fand lyind my firestar
2 really close to gross with all the mods I have done. The idea of a little stronger
wing (8" vs 5" spar) was going into the thought of a wing swap also. Thanks
for the input. Chic
Unless you do something really rash, I wouldn't worry about that main spar too
much:
The friend who used to have the hangar next to mine had a FSII with a 582 that
was REALLY HEAVY and so was he.
He landed hard, broke the fitting that connects the axle to the landing gear leg,
stuck the remaining bit of landing gear into the ground, turned 180 degrees
and rolled it up. Broke his ankle.
Didn't hurt the main spar a bit.
And yes, we rebuilt it.

Forgiving is tough, being forgiven is wonderful, and God's grace really is amazing.
