REFLECTOR: Reflector Digest, Vol 113, Issue 18

[Mike Dawson via Reflector]

True enough but I doubt that the factory would say anything at least untill a full investigation is done.
Food for thought. Who does analyses on glass? Did any legs come from Brazil like the wings?
Is the NTSB working on it?

It is a little early to go running off saying all gear legs are bad. Very little info is out on what really happened on both gear legs.

I would love for it to just be a bad batch, but unless the factory gives us some indication of something being different from date (or serial number) x to y, based on this person made them or somesuch, I don't see how you can assume yours is going to be OK...

As bad as I feel for them I kind of like the bad batch idea. There are just too many fixed gear Velocities out there, with significant landings on them, that are fine. I hope we are not an accident waiting to happen nor do I want to go back and wrap my gear legs.
