Wing Failures?sd

[EDMO 1078]

leni, You mentioned something about a wing failure in talking about the strut bracket rivets, I think - Can you tell some more about this - What plane - What happened - What conditions - What GW?

Thanks, ED

I believe I said there has never been an inflight wing failure, hence me not being too worried about it

Oh - Guess I misunderstood what you said - Well, that's good news.

If Dean used the standard 150% safety factor, then that is probably why he flew it at 1500 and nothing happened? I'm guessing that he was smart enough to only do that in calm air...

Thanks,
