Insertion of a 10kb springer element into an intron upstream of exon 7d.
Heterozygotes are flightless. Disruptions in the structure of the IFM myofibrils are seen - cracks are visible throughout the myofibril where no thick filaments are present.
The flight ability and myofibril phenotypes are fully rescued by one copy of Mhc+t41.9. Duplicated copy of Mhc present on Dp(2;3)osp3 is insufficient to rescue lethality due to the presence of a second site lethal mutation. Mhc+t41.9 can rescue lethality when the second site lethal is recombined off the chromosome.
