So although I think it is a bit of a cliché, If you have to ask, you don't
know enough to be asking.


Ya know something, this cliche is bit worn, tired and pulled out every
time somebody asks for something different.

I am aware of the very same bit of folklore. That does not keep one from
trying to improve the item. I do NOT want a wood wing. If the Sonerai
wing is good enough to fly in a 2 place in a normal flight mode, then it
is good enough. I am NOT racing the thing, or flying an aerobatic show.

I do know enough to ask. That is why I am asking. To engineer a better
spar is NOT the issue. We still do not have enough information about the
accident to decide if the spar failed, or the wing failed in flexure, or
the guy that built it failed to insure the proper build. The engineer
was not consulted to fix the issue, just to analyze the outcome of a
failed wing.

There are a number of formula one racers out there exchanging wings that
are wood with foam and fiberglass, sheet, or other medium. Why should a
Formula V aircraft be any different.

And to hire an engineer to fix the issue is in the works.

Thanks for asking.
