How hard do you have to land to do that?! Do the wings have dimples
above the gear?


Wow. The first thing I did this weekend was grab a flashlight and checked
that area of my plane. It's perfect, thank goodness.

I wouldn't rule out some severe forward/backward motion of the wing
causing this, although it should be strong enough to take it.

If I'm not mistaken, the co-pilot side of this bulkead (the same side
shown in this picture) also has the external step reinforcement located on
it's rear side... Hmmm. maybe that's the next bulkhead back... I can't
remember.
