I have experience with the rutan constr= uction method, but very little with lancair. An owner that I teach has a 3= 60 with the left flap debonding at the trailing edge bond line, shown as an= 8 inch crack through the middle of the trailing edge. I would like to kno= w suggestions on fixing this. From my experience with the ez's, normaly sa= nding between the two areas and filling with epoxy would be a normal fix on= a non structural surface, but I am concerned about this with a flight con= trol. The owner believes filling with a hypodermic needle and super glue w= ill fix this. I obviously do not agree with this fix and am looking for in= put. Thanks.=0A=0ALuke Alcorn=0A=0A
