DJ--What a sad story. I can't imagine how bad you feel; sorry for your loss.I'm also building a SkyRaider ultralight that only has glued fabric, but the moderator at the Sun-N-Fun covering class related a story of another ultralight that had the fabric come loose on one wing and the plane crashed because the pilot didn't have enough aileron to compensate and spun in. Fortunately he lived to tell the story. I WILL be rib stitching my SkyRaider.________________________________________________________________________________
