Bob, I agree with this statement. Of the 3 cases of cracked exhaust pipes in LNC2's that I am aware of, all 3 were supported in some manner at the aft end. Perhaps, I don't have all the information available on this subject. Anyone who has had experience with cracked exhaust pipes, please chime in. I think most LNC2's are flying without any aft end support and with no problems. I could be wrong on this. If so, please let me have it. Bob Jude, N65BJ
