All composites will move when stressed, that is part of the reason they are so strong. I have had my Legacy at the edge of the envelope and have never seen flex. How many G's is this guy pulling to get flex? If flex is a real problem moving the stress to another part of the fuse structure could cause many more problems. First see if it is a real problem and ask Lancair if they can reproduce it and if a fix is required. Rick," I can break anything" Schrameck No flex Legecy S#123 > inner wall in the cockpit area and that builder mentioned flex in > cockpit walls was a problem with a number of the planes flying [ I would assume this flex is in a LIVP once its blown up with pressure, the door and other things do flex quite a bit, per design. not an issue in a non pressurized LEG2 -Rob@Logan.com ]
