Less than 40 were built, and half a dozen lost major sections of the wing in flight. That happened in the early stage of development, right? Uh, no. It wasn't in development at all. These were all customer-built aircraft. Those problems were solved in the current version. Not that I know of. AFAIK there has not been either a reliable FEA simulation nor a long term cycle test to indicate that the 'solution' actually fixed the problem. Nor has there been a long-term field history. Michael
