 Are the inserts still good? The one you show appears OK. Couldn't you re-use them? (The old holes don't matter.)

I am surpised to see that the new inserts do not have

the "V" relief cut in each end.  This "V" cut is to

reduce the sharp change in stiffness at the insert

ends, which creates stress points on the spar.



Anyone else have the inserts without the relief "Vs"? 

It is new to me.

I believe you cut those in yourself. You definitely want them.

They just came out of the crate, I'll get to that.

The old insert for one side is still good,  but Kitfox recommended they not be reused. There is some scratching from  being pushed out. With the thicker walls I don't think the old inserts will fit  the new spars anyway.

A senior moment on my part.  They were already done on

my quick built wings, but I now remember the

instructions for them.
