From what I read composite materials are hard to inspect for damage
from over stress with bare eyes, the same thing either for Long-EZ's
foam and fiberglass wings or for Extra 300's carbon fiber wings. So as
long as there's no failure report for Long-EZ's wings under high G, I
have confidence in it.

Rick, the Rans S-9 is lots of fun for little money. I am sure it's the
cheapest fully aerobatic airplane you can buy in the new or used
market. I've been working on to compete in the IAC chapter 11's contest
here at Warrenton, VA (W66) this fall, but the engine (582) blew out so
I am now waiting for the new engine and may miss my first contest.

I think I actually talked to you at OSH aside the Festival because I
saw the wings are fabric covered. It's a beautiful airplane.
