Bfisk, At NO TIME did I mention or indicate anything about "Leaving it too late", Please do not distort my posts to make your own points, The fact remains that if you try flying inside a large Cauliflower the wings might just come of, even more likely in a BE20 if you dont have the spar strap mod compleated, {Is it done on yours? We had all our aircraft done, even when not an AD as we flew in a low level/ high cycle regime} In fact we found cracks in one of our older models so bad we grounded it.
