My newsreader doesn't get all the messages, so I may have missed the
antecedent referenced -- but what's the source that the anodized spars
have half the fatigue life? and why? Is that true in general, or only
for these spars?

thanks

Ed it is as the other guys have posted. I believe our CASA got the
fidgets with it as well but I forget the details.

btw I have retired from my high and lofty position :-)
I'm now just a regular weekend pilot and full time uni student (tisc,
at my age) for another 2 or so years.

accordingly ...no need to bow when we meet now. :-) :-)
Hope your work with the EAA continues to go well.
