Bob,

I found the article I was reading in 21 years of RV loonies
and it was based around the RV4 mount angles and if I
recall someone had done a few heavy landings and the 50 thou
ones were cracked so 63 thou ones were replaced. I gather if
the origional ones are looked after there shouldn't be a problem.
