Why does the PA-38 Tomahawk have a wing life of 11,000 hours?
I've got a fair bit of time in Tomahawks, and love them. They're a great trainer, and a reasonable touring aircraft.

I've never had a proper answer from anyone as to why the wings are lifed at 11,000 hours, when I can't find another aircraft anywhere that has a similar restriction. Does anyone know why Piper decided on this restriction?
