Hi Guys,
one of the preflight routines I do is shaking the wingtips to check if there is any "play". Doing that I discovered a distinct movement in the rear port strut and I get the impression that it´s at the wing end although it´s difficult to check properly without a helper. Checking through the hole were the upper aileron wire passes the fabric I couldn´t see anything abnormal at the rear spar fitting (wood spar). I´ll check it again with a mechanic this week, but just thought I´d check in with you guys. What´s your bet- the strut bolt? The spar fitting?
Just (L-)4 fun/ Jörgen
