Found no visible cracking in the glass epoxy at all. It was obvious that this section had been flexing. I floxed in 2 webs of 1/4" prepreg, covered with 2 bid glass. It is a LOT stiffer now. Hope this is enough. Bob Belshe N19BJ 300+ hours flying >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML homepage: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html
