Hi all! This weeks tramatic issue is on of finding a weld
broken. Attached is a photo of my left peddle and if you
will look at the bar below the peddle you will see where I
have highlighted the break. It is located on the cross member
that supports both peddles and connects on either side to the
fuselage. I wonder if I might use a triangle piece to brace
both sides. Secondly, should I weld a sleeve over it? Lastly,
this piece is above the main and I am concerned about the
main flexing on landing and putting pressure on this piece.
Can I use something as a buffer?

Any ideas?
