Skymaster337B is an unknown quantity at this point
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.
