I have read all of the threads on this topic and understand that it is very critical to maintain 5/8 edge distance - to better understand, I have a few questions . . .
1) What kind of loads does the rear spar see during flight (inc turbulence).
2) Are these loads different for an RV-9 (non -acro) vs an RV-6,7,8?
3) What would a failure at this point result in? (Besides the obvious of changing the incidence, leading to I assume an unstable flight condition and possible disabling flap movement.) What else?
Thanks for your insight . . .
