Interesting & sad to see it so busted up. Glad the pilot walked away. I started mine in '95 or '96? It's been sitting for 6-7 years. Am thinking about getting going again after retirement (about 5 years). Glue joints age - No real way I can think of to test 'em. Last I heard inspectors don't do any checks - unless there's somebody out there who knows a way? Otherwise ? part it out? Start something new?
