  • Hi John, was reading one of your posts about cracks in the horizontal stabilizer on Stinsons. I was wondering if you had seen any in 108-2's. Also wondering if your could perhaps clarify where you saw them and the best way to inspect for them. Perhaps I could call and talk with you about it?
    Thanks, Stan
