Hi Jean !

You are probably fine just as you are, especially with just an O-235.
Some folks who were worried about the FUS-10's have run a piece of
stringer down the middle - others have put a piece of witches-hat
down the middle -- both connect to the end rivets, and greatly
stiffen the FUS-10. For those who are worried, the witches hat
would likely add a lot more strength .... the 'ears' will bend to
match the curve of the FUS-10 ...

The FUS-10's will do the job as long as they do not get a dent !
Even a small dent will quickly (like 2 months) turn into a big
crease and then a crack !! I've seen it !

I think Wayne has seen crumpling in the top rear FUS-10s
after very hard landings ....

How bad is the fus10 installation is still not very clear for me. MAM

supply 6x FUS-10 and 2x FUS-70. The 2 fus-70 go between the fire wall

and the cabine frame. Is the "must replace " was for at the origin just

for those 2 and than evoluate in "all must be change". Some talk

about fus-452? Is it the same part with .032 instead .020 and .025? It

look easier to fit a seconf fus-10 as a doubler thant to work

with .032"...

The top rear and bottom are in place, the 2 last one should go in the

firewall area (in top) and the 2 fus-70 at the bottom.
