There is some discussion with regard to older aeroplanes going on with CASA at present and from the latest AOPA mag they are involved with the discusion as well.
The problem is as was said that older aeroplanes such as this are not looped and sent into high G turns and tend to be used with care and preserved by pedantic owners who will do nothing to risk them.
So using a one size fits all solution will inevitably increase the costs to the extent that this part of GA will not continue.
The B Klemm Eagle has had to have recently an EO to cover the internals of the box spar, a three point harness EO to a wooden cross member.
All of these not only remove origionality but have limited addition to safety. I really would not mind if the safety was radically improved but it is not and breaking into the integrity of the box spar is potentially dangerous with humidity problems.
Is there any commen sense?
