    Wow, Do you happen to know what kind of glue was used during construction? There must be some structural members broken as well. I am very curious to what you find and how you correct the issues. I am an EAA Tech Counselor and I try to stay educated so I can hopefully keep someone else from having a similar issue. Please keep us posted. Many thanks, -------- Scott Liefeld Flying N11MS since March 1972 Steel Tube C-85-12 Wire Wheels Brodhead in 1996 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=455903#455903

    Wow. Definitely interested in hearing more once you check it out more carefully... Seems like a negative g induced failure, what ever the root cause. Also interested in the repair. Fwiw, I repaired a similar fabric issue like that with Stewarts. They are stc'ed for simple overlap patches in a case like that which will preclude recovering the entire fuse, at the cost of looks. If good enough for certificated planes.... And it just felt right, very tenacious adhesive. I'm a little leery of poly tak with standing the 350 deg shrink. Good luck with the repair, let us know more as you figure it all out. Man, I feel a experimental AD coming on! Yikes.

    Tools; another forehead-slapping "doh!" moment for me when you mentioned negative Gs. I was wondering to myself what could have pulled the strut attach fitting down so hard that the lower longeron split or pulled away from the uprights. A good downward push by the wing strut could sure do it!! As you know, one of the only (or at least the best known) inflight structural failures of an Air Camper resulted from a negative-G maneuver. We can only guess what caused this one... flying through a thunderstorm or wind shear? If finding this crack results in a thorough inspection of the major glue joints and structural mountings, it will have been worth it in peace of mind once everything is found to be airworthy or is repaired as needed. There will also be a springtime next year, if this spring ends up being make-and-mend or even a fabric recovering job for Eight-Six-Lima. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC &quot;Scout&quot; A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=455915#455915

    I like the look of the silver on the wings and tail surfaces of Four-Sierra-Golf. The day looks like it was fun! -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC &quot;Scout&quot; A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=455916#455916
