I bought a E-LSA RV-12 June 2020. Am loving the airplane.
It has wheel pants. I haven’t measured the ground clearance but it seems to be only a couple of inches.
At the condition inspection which has just been completed it was found that the left main wheel pant was cracked from bottom for about 4 or 5 inches. I’m kicking myself as I never noticed this.
Has anyone had a similar experience? What are others doing about such a minimal ground clearance?
I obviously caused the crack but I have no idea how I could have and NO I’m not saying that every landing I did was that good.
I’m just trying to get ideas on how to avoid future cracks.
Thanks
Charlie
