Reverse av/RCU poll

[Rcmaster199 at aol.com]

The tube spar sockets for both wings and stabs, need to be installed with  
far better support than what is practiced by some. A chordwise vertical ply  
support at the end of the tube and at the wing root, with a little epoxy thrown  
into the hole for good measure simply will not cut it.
 
There are better, more supportive yet lightweight methods used. I have  
explained my method to a few of our readers. I decided to write an  article for 
KFactor publication and maybe it can help a few more. It assumes  that you build 
your own wings tho, so beware.

After  reading about what others have to say, and direct discussion, I
suspect  that this maneuver is damaging to most if not all plug-in  wing
models.  I offer this as speculation, but there is already enough  evidence
to support the theory, and we are just getting started.  I am  claiming that
the reverse avalanche is a more damaging maneuver than the  snap on a 45
down, and that it is unacceptably rough on our  airplanes.  If anybody has
data for or against my claim, please speak  up.  This is pretty important
stuff.  I am just as concerned  about my competitor’s airplanes as I am my
own.

Oh one last thing, I  change my vote on this poll, which means that it is
exactly tied right now  -- 24 to 24.  The next question is, if more people
start changing  their mind like I have, is there any way possible to replace
this  maneuver?  Maybe we will just have to cope with it like the FAI  guys
must.

Sincerely,

David Flynt
