Fuselage cracking

      I thought I should post our findings from this years annual. 
      Fairly serious. 
      Discovered some cracks in the fuselage. They were through the strut attach fitting
      and the cracks ran through the bolt holes. See videos. 
      Poor workmanship is our guess. Not sure if the plans were followed. Gussets in
      the front cockpit seem insufficient and we hope others aren't built like this.
      This is a higher stress area, so we were surprised to see how small the gussets
      were.   
      
      Will post pictures of our repair on picasa and share the link for you folks. 
      The repair will take us a few weeks, which is eating into our flying season!
