Thank you for the comments. They are most reassuring.

I'll "second" that -- thanks for that data, Cory!

I've always looked at those stabilator attach points and quickly averted my
eyes, cringing. They look soooo small!

Of course, take a look at how a 172s wing attaches, and you'll never fly one
of those again. Yet they've never had a wing failure.

All I can say is: Thank goodness for engineers who can figure this safety
stuff out.
