I have recieved replys to prior update and I need to elaborate. The weldments are the upper engine mount weldments and they were prior to 1988 redesign of the entire unit. The pre 1988 units are very flimsy and inadequate in design as is indicated but the 1988 redesign. One builder I have discussed this with said he noticed the inadequacy on his inital build and completely reengineered the parts on his build up. Again the breakage was not caused by rough landings or flying outside Van's prescribed envelope. Roger Moore
