Many thanks to all of you for your advice. I have had numerous private e mails (which did not appear on pprune) and for those thank you. I even had two from Alabama. I am now much better informed. If any of you have any more advice please keep it coming.
One thing that was mentioned by one of the private e mailers was his suspicion that an AD was imminent on all fabric wing versions. Does anyone have any news on this?
