I watched a Goldwing crash when the right wind failed on
a moderate g pullup. I was behind it after it flew overhead. The spar was an aluminum tube inside a foam structure. It looked to fail in bending about a foot outboard of the r/h attach points. The pilot stayed in the fuse until impact and lived for a short time after the crash. I wouldn't trust one today after the structure has aged, lots of foam in one. I also wouldn't fly fast or pull hard in one. I'm also married and can find much better toys than what you were looking at. Scott "OneSkyDog" wrote in message ... The factory test pilot was killed when a wing folded. There was some issue about the spar. Regards, One Sky Dog
