Has anyone considered what would happen if, on a RV-12, the weld broke which connects the torque tube to a flaperon. With just a small area of weld, it?s always been a worry to me and is closely inspected before each flight.
In thinking about it, at a high enough speed, the loose flaperon might stream inline with the wing and movement up and down of the operating flaperon might provide sufficient flight control for a high speed landing. Thoughts anyone?
