Read it. I have a degree in aeronautical engineering and have no problem with what he says, still would like to hear what the factory says.
You wouldn't expect them to contradict the fact that they asked us to include the micro-balloons would you?
As with all professions, I bet you would find differing opinions on the matter of using micro-balloons in this application.

It says to use micro-baboons in the builders manual. What purpose does it serve to have a "factory rep" repeat it here?
There have been literally thousands of these planes built this way. There has never been an inflight failure of this airframe design.
If you have a better way, it's experimental, go for it. Invent a better mouse trap.
Who ever invented spell check should burn in h@ll...
That'll teach me to try and make a serious point, I wind up looking like a micro-baboon.
You can thank John for pointing that out. I read right over it as if correct.
Heck, i read Johns post twice, didnt see it and wondered what he was laughing about.

That is hilarious, I got my laugh of the day.
I'm right in the middle of my condition inspection. Maybe I need to verify whether it has micro-baboons or micro-balloons because I didn't build the wings.
What do you get if you mix micro-baboons with Gorilla glue?
