Whoa, Al. "I'm still reeling at the imbecile with the EOC who was
interviewed about a pending AD and agreed that it was a good idea"
Contact me off line or on my cell phone at 715-573-7063. I think you've
got the facts terribly backwards.

Be careful what you wish for. If indeed Univair found it necessary to
address a problem with a crack in the spar, the ENTIRE FLEET, that's
right, the ENTIRE FLEET could be grounded. Overall statements of what
Univair should be doing must be avoided at all costs. Cracks should
be addressed by individual mechanics based on the crack guidelines
already published, but which are now teetering. When the current
stock of spars are gone, what do you think it would cost for another
run? Are you willing to pay $11K for the parts?
Never wish for or agree with the establishment of an AD. I'm still
reeling at the imbecile with the EOC who was interviewed about a
pending AD and agreed that it was a good idea. When asked these types
of questions, one should consider a buzz off and let the structural
engineers address it.

SMK60 is a reinforcement for the rib. I don't believe that it is
a fix for a
cracked rib - only a reinforcement to prevent such crack. The
crack is in
Glenn's spar cap and that is the crack that I think Univair should
address
a fix for.
