Boy, were the gremlins working fu-riously last issue (March 2005). Usually there is only a minor gaffe here or there that doesn't raise anyone's blood pressure enough to write and point out the mistake. Not so for the March issue. I wish I could say we were under a spell, or kidnapped by aliens as excuse for the mistakes that shouldn't have happened. Number one on the list of infamy is Don Carkhuff s great article last month (page 32), It dealt with attaching wing struts easily to the fuselage and to the wing without fumbling small screws and inventing new expletives when they get lost in the grass. It was a gem, well-written and in Don's great style, well-illustrated. So what was the problem? We titled the article "Jury Struts", not wing struts. Should we have, and do we know better? Yup. I spent some years in general aviation among older "rag" airplanes so I should have caught the goof right away. Did I? No.
