REFLECTOR: Alan Shaw Wings Question

[Lawrence J. Epstein,MD]

I guess I will go chip away at it. If my winglets fall off, you guys
will be the first to know (after anyone underneath me).

Both of my wings had these triax layups running diagonally through the
space. I contacted Alan Shaw about this and he told me to cut out as
much
of it as was necessay for the rudder horn clearance. He said that would
be
more than enough of the layup remaining forward of the rudder pocket
that
the strenght of the winglet would not be compromised.

I did what he told me to, and my winglets have been OK so far.
