  1. Hello All,

    I recently talked to someone who told me they had a structural failure in flight and broke off two flaperon rib tips.   Is there a manufacturer or otherwise approved way to reinforce the rib tips in an Avid Mark IV without taking fabric off.   The Mark IV I am looking at has dampers on the flaperons to reduce / eliminate vibration.  I understand the dampers are from a manufacturer tech sheet (sort of a like a recall notice).  Are the dampers just intended to reduce vibration and the tips should still be reinforced to play it safe?   

    The wings are heavy hauler type.
