Hmmmm
I haven't seen one broken while landing, but my flying buddy, Don
Harban, found that the pins in the pivot on his Supra stab mount were
loosened and was fortunately able to fix the situation prior to
loosing a ship.
Another type of problem can occur with these mounts if not enough
epoxy is applied between the boom surface under the rearward facing
edge of the ring portion of the mount. I'm thinking that maybe some
"failures" might have occurred due to either of these situations?
I keep an extra mount for each ship (Supra, Ava) because it costs too
much to go to an out-of-contest, especially if you suffer damage and
can't fly.
Anyway, its a good idea to check the pivot after every flight. These
ships are getting to be like F1 vehicles in that they are "edgy" and
need more maintenance than your average beater. .
Just a thought.....
