Less than 40 were built, and half a dozen lost major
sections of the wing in flight.
That happened in the early stage of development, right?
Uh, no. It wasn't in development at all. These were all
customer-built aircraft.
Those problems were solved in the current version.
Not that I know of. AFAIK there has not been either a reliable FEA
simulation nor a long term cycle test to indicate that the 'solution'
actually fixed the problem. Nor has there been a long-term field
history.
