[quote=texastuma][quote=timscottyoung]Hello to those who have wings on their H18s.
I've had this 1989 H 18 for about 8 years. Twice, I've unpinned the wings to raise them into the stow position, and twice, the strut falls off. The entire weld around the strut just lets go.
Anyone else have this issue... is there a way to prevent? Should I just have a welder go back over all the weldments to prevent future failures? I'm a fresh water sailor, but have taken her to the beach a few times.
These wings are labeled "Formula Wings".[/quote]
i would suggest a welder add a tab between the strut and the frame. This will help minimize movement of the strut and break the welds loose.[/quote]
