Matco Split Rims (MH6BD.75) manufactured BEFORE 2001 - BEWARE !!!
CH701sp Flight testing - 100.6 hours since September 28th,2012
Hi Everybody,
Thru their website, I wrote to Matco tech support about the FAILURE I had with one of their product (Split Rim MH6BD.75 rated at 660lbs/rim). I had found an article in the LightAircraft 'SafetySpot' of November 2015 where A similar incident was reported. The Murphy Rebel that suffered the failure was overweight for the rims but my CH701 was NOT.
They offered no compensation…
