All right, back to the beheadings!
Four days, and not a mumblin' word.
Makes a body wonder, don't it?
Seriously, if the intent is to protect the innocent and unwary, why NOT
respond (and show your work?).
Or? Have I misinterpreted obviously altruistic motives?
(huh!)
I've been trying to raise the RAA web site for several days to see if they
post their articles on the web. But it seems to be snowed under and won't be
back up until the spring thaw.
Fortunately (or otherwise, depending on your point of view?), I just happen
to HAVE a copy of the magazine. It was sent to me by a Canadian fellow (who
I'll not name to avoid allegations of international espionage).
But here it is, and we'll let the reader decide for him/her/it self...

I particularly like the ripe irony of the last paragraph of the article.
There are also a few of the stress analysis reports in pdf format.
ul-spar.pdf The original preliminary report (corrected! The original
original showed an 8 G limit(!), but it was a simple error)
ul-redo.pdf Suggested upgrade to 4.4 Gs at 650 lbs
fastner.pdf rivets, bolts, etc
For what it's worth, none of these are my own works.
They were posted to the Fly5k list by the author and are presented here
for enlightenment and entertainment of (any?) interested readers...
