Sounds like "they" want me to believe that Cessna had no idea about high loading from the tail booms during the design. Give me a break. I bet the engineers with slide-rules back in the 60's knew more about design and fatigue/loading then the guys working at Cessna today -- using their "Proprietory/Trade Secret Analysis" i.e., some computer model. I bet they're using the same computer model the U.N. is using to prove global warming.
My point. I think Cessna should collect (purchase) a random sample of high hour Skymasters and analyze the wing mounts. Then let us know if there really is something to worry about or not. I hate it when they create a boogie-man.
