I will point out, however, that you slammed the 601's accident record based
on inflight wing structural failures, and in none of them has the horizontal

You are correct, my comment about the tail has nothing to do with my
comments about the wing problems. My reasoning for discussing the tail
flexibility was (believe it or not) not meant to inflame or upset
anyone, it was meant to point out that the 601 appears to me to be
built a little too lightly in many areas, in an attempt to make the
LSA weight class. Regardless of what any of you mugs think, I'm old
enough to be more concerned about flight safety than most anything
else, and my motives were as pure as Captain Zoom's ego. My intent was
to make people take notice of a POSSIBLE flexibility issue in the 601
and 701 tail and simply be an informed owner. Once again I invite any
real live engineers to look at the issue I raised and let all of us
know how much of a big deal (if any) it was.
