Sorry to hear that Ron, but I'm happy to hear that you didn't give up and that it didn't cause any injuries or major damage. Good luck with putting her back together. While she's grounded, might as well look at the rest of her eh? Wouldn't hurt and I know you enjoy working on her as much as piloting her. Not like it's really grounded, since all it needs is a replacement bolt. Got the spacer block and a selection of bolts in the ashtray of my car. Looked at the failed bolt under a microscope, and it appears that the bolt itself had a flaw in it. There was a faint "worm track" of corrosion across the plane of the break....its width was about 5% of the diameter of the bolt, and it ran about 3/4ths of the way across the cross-section.

Glad she's not grouded Ron. Looked at the bolt w/ a microscope huh?
That's too technical for me Ron. I have a hang glider, propeller from Tenn Prop, a Zenoah 22hp engine, three wheel barrow wheels, and I still can't put a trike together. Had them for awhile now. I thought I'd start with a trike, then get me a kit of something like a Fisher 101 or a MiniMax or a Parasol. If I can only get started with this trike. Bryan "The Monk" Chaisone |
