Dumb & Dumber

You're right Luney, the FAA must get involved. They must stop
developers from building houses, office buildings, malls etc. in the
departure & arrival paths of airports. I suspect there are no more
occurrences of aircraft crashing now than 40 years ago (although with
the pilot population in decline the figure may be less), but with so
much development on top of airports any crash is more likely to hit a
building now.

As the planes are coming down onto homes now (another one outside Reno --
fortunately no one on the ground killed this time), the FAA must get
involved. Of course they also want to PROMOTE aviation, so they are
hopelessly conflicted.

Of course you are correct, as always. All development, populuation
growth, etc. must be absolutely subservient to the needs of GA.

Loon, I have an idea just for you.

DO NOT including any quoted material from the previous post. That might work
best - for all. It'll be easier to read your posts that way.

Don't worry about us, we'll keep up with the flow of the thread on our end.
Thanks.

OK, Mont. Fly safe.

Never underestimate the damage that can be caused by a point load at the
tip of a flight surface. I don't know about Cherokee stabilators and
girl point loads - but even a 1 mph tagging of a wingtip on a hangar can
bend spars on the inboard portion of the wing. Seemingly small point
loads on wingtips can cause all sorts of unseen damage. I believe
Highflyer has a story about a Taylorcraft spar and a compression
fracture he discovered in flight after a minor wingtip tagging incident.
Our club's C170 got a kinked aft spar after a minor wingtip tagging
incident.
