There is a pretty nasty article in the Philadelphia Inquirer today about an asserted tendency for Piper airplanes to break up due to the stabilator design. A lawyer named Wolk who has been ambulance chasing aviation cases for years is hawking this one. The article says the NTSB has never found the design to be flawed but he asserts otherwise. Piper and the NTSB assert that pilot error has been the cause of such accidents. (You need a digital subscription to access). Below is a link upon which the story is based.
Does anyone have any experience or information about how robust the stabilator design is?
