For anyone unfamiliar with bureaucratic formats, skipping to the last
page of the 12 page report, will give you a complete list of the
highlights. But the real message is more subtle than it appears. The
real message offers a polite Heads-Up to ALL American airmen, telling
us that if we can't keep our house in order there are plenty of
bureaucrats more than eager to jump in and take care of that little
matter for us. (Need I mention that bureaucrats don't come cheap?)
I STRONGLY suggest you read the whole report and be prepared to act on
it accordingly, when appropriate.

Zactly. Even better, I can't imagine flying a plane that might come apart
in mid air (for no apparent reason) without fixing the problem causing it to
come apart. Perhaps people should consider that fact, too.
Does anyone know why there is no mass ballancing (as is common practice) on
the ailerons, in the first place?
The Zenair Zodiac uses wing warping. (They call it a "hingeless
aileron"). Looks pretty springy to me.
