Hi Ferg,
Sorry about your mishap. I might add my adventure here:
The trailer i have has woven strings, from a material as used by lorries
as strap-down.
On my way to the painter i noticed in the mirror that a wing was moving
around more then i would expect, so i stopped a few miles down the road.
Then became clear that both wings had moved backward, and that there was
only 2 inches of spar left in the clamps. It would not have taken very
long anymore before a wing went flying! The wind force on the fairing,
together with bouncing in the straps had been more then the friction of
the otherwise tight clamps. Securing both spars with a rope around the
aileron mechanism is really needed!
Regards,
Jos Okhuijsen
