September 26, 201114 yr I noticed this little hole in the wing while leaving KORD at night, on the 800WL with PMDG paint, not sure if its on the others yet, I think Ryan and RSR need to get the duct tape out before it falls off You can see the small hole where the engine is attached to the wing and the house light is showing through -Ryan Vince Quote from 911 magazine: "- ...RSR delivers unparallelled performance and stunning looks"
September 26, 201114 yr Author That is not a hole!It is, go fly over lights at night near where I have my viewpoint set as and you will see it, once you notice it you will understand! -Ryan Vince Quote from 911 magazine: "- ...RSR delivers unparallelled performance and stunning looks"
September 26, 201114 yr Its a hole but its the kinda hole that is supposed to be there. If you go outside you aircraft and look along the entire wing you will see others just like it on both wings. A similar system is used for wing de-icing by the 'hot-wing' method. In icing conditions, water droplets condensing on a wing's leading edge can freeze. This build-up of ice adds weight and changes the shape of the wing, causing a degradation in performance, and possibly a critical loss of control or lift. To prevent this, warm bleed air is pumped through the inside of the wing's leading edge. This heats up the metal, preventing the formation of ice. The air then exits through small holes in the wing edge. Alternatively, bleed air may be used to inflate a rubber boot on the leading edge, breaking the ice loose. Paul Deemer

September 26, 201114 yr What camera view did you use to get that angle I tried all the wing views and I can't see the same crack your showing on yours. Besides your supposed to be in the Cockpit Flying the plane. Paul Deemer
September 26, 201114 yr How did you know The hole gave it away. But seriously that was a -300 that blew her lid. what camera view did you use to get that angle I tried all the wing views and I cant see the same crack your showing on yours.

I was testing out some settings so I put the inflatable autopilot in control, I just hope the fish I ate tonight was okay -Ryan Vince Quote from 911 magazine: "- ...RSR delivers unparallelled performance and stunning looks"
