 |
|
As a builder of a CH640, I am following these accidents with interest, as there are similar design characteristics of the 640 and 601. Reading through the large number of posts on these accidents I am amazed. From a need to do structural testing (been done), inadequate rivets, weak spar caps, dangerous forward swept wings, weak attach points, Zenith "hiding" a known defect due to liability, completely backwards disertations on Va speeds and weight, reading things in the NTSB reports that aren't there, and armchair designers proposed modifications, the amount of misinformation and disinformation is unbelievable. I only hope that not many builders use this half baked information to make a bunch of half baked modifications to a proven, thoroughly tested airframe and then let an innocent person climb into the right seat.
