I'm sure many of you have seen the ads for those tubular inserts for the spars, meant to replace the strips that get riveted and glued into the roots. Has anyone used these, or have an opinion (I'm sure many have opinions)? Sportplane/kitfox has many accessories but do not list these. They can be seen with the kitfox accessories on Blue Sky site:

IMHO the spar insert is a great repair item, but if the doublers are
installed and reamed per kit instructions they work great. I have seen
were a Kitfox did an forced landing and hit a tree with a wing, tearing
out the front attach point. It pulled the pin through the spar and
doublers, but it also BROKE the carry through tube in the center
cluster. The tube was welded up and an insert riveted in and he was back
flying. The insert is also a good repair if the hole was drilled and
the hole starts to wobble out, or if you goof up and put the hole in the
wrong spot.
