after an engine check. 0 flying hours. Since the starboard wing was not
fitted, quite some weight hit my wife's leg. She and the leg did not like that.
Her leg however did not break. I reported that back to the factory, and on
their request sent the broken ends to check. Never heard anything about a reason
though. Some reasoning led to the conclusion that the nylon can dry out if
the air humidity is very low on average.
