Ran across this video discussion of builder error that cost builder his life. He had previously sold his creations to other pilots! Builder made stuff that looked good but failed structurally. Builder did not understand the why of wing design. He thought rib continuity was more important than spar continuity. Wings failed under light load and he dies. :'( We really must thoroughly inspect any work we buy. Cold welds, substandard materials, bad techniques, plan excursions, logic failure, all equal risk when we buy what someone else has made. Just cannot assume that things are done right. BRS is good insurance. https://youtu.be/2EaZdeTERjY
