It's been a long held belief that the WAF's were the weak point in the KR spars. I've had the opportunity to inspect 3 crashed KR's, unfortunately with one fatality, and in all cases the WAF"s remained in tact. The spar wood was splintered, twisted, shattered, and more, but the attach fittings held firm, slightly bent in some cases, but still in tact. Granted, most of the forces may have been fore and aft, not vertical, but they never separated from the wood. Larry Flesner
