Any prohibition on more than one splice on a member?
I removed a questionable external splice on a Taylorcraft landing
gear. The splice was on the streamlined strut. Unfortunately, removing the splice didn't allow enough original tubing at the lower end to apply an external sleeve. So I figured I'd install a splice using an internal sleeve and give myself enough strut to then use an external splice higher up the strut. Is there a prohibition on putting more than one splice on a member? - Mike |

Any splice can introduce new stresses in a load bearing member. I would
leave a repair like this to someone qualified to do the job. There is too much to loose if the repair fails. -- Best Regards, Mike http://photoshow.comcast.net/mikenoel A frog in a well does not know the great sea. "Michael Horowitz" wrote in message ...
