With all of the speculation that goes on with you people, at first I thought "what a bunch of "Dopes". All B.S. and nothing substantial.........
Well I ve changed my mind..................................
Thank you all for making me think SAFETY just a little(a lot) more. I read lots of ideas of why aircraft crash here on this website. I sure don't hear much from the Feds or NTSB....
Sure these agencies will publish their "facts" in the far future but I get much more from you in this group. Right or wrong, your ideas have me concerned...
From the first wing install on my 601 XL, I thought " if the rear ( drag) spar ever came loose, the wing would flap into destruction." The rear spar attach isn't very beefy. But then I ve never seen a drag spar that was...
Not saying this was THE problem in 601 crashes but its something that needs and will be investigated....
When you guys and gals get the chance look how the wing acts with the rear spar bolt removed...
Now I m reading your ideas on the possibility of a wing flap failure. Man . that's not a far out idea.....
Anyway. Thanks to all of you for opening my eyes to safety even more.

I must say that i agree with this idea as i have previously posted , and the situation gets worse , because as the rear attachment breaks away , the wing will rotate up and around the main spar , just a little movement up at the rear attachment , will drive the flap down via the flap pin , take a look at picture 019 closely at the attachment , this looks like a chunk missing , not a bolt tear out, and this is twice as thick as its tab on the fuselage , perhaps the dreaded fatigue is an issue here . I am going to be looking very closely at this area before next flight .
regards to you all , and hope we can get it sorted soon for peace of mind.

Maybe someone can compile a list from all of the threads as possibles and things to check. I don't have that kind of time to do it. But maybe looking at a list of everything that's been suggested or whatever, you know, all in one list, reading that in a concise format, and then rereading it, a lightbuld may come on that no one here has thought of, or, that someone has thought of, but it becomes that much more obvious whether there is a problem or not, and if there is, what it is.
For all I know the plae could be perfectly fine, personally, I think it's an awesome design, I just want to know it truly is safe, safe enough to the point that if you break it, was was in fact pilot error and done way outside of a normal design and flight envelope.
