Let me get this straight. A test procedure does not always produce a correct result on all occasion? So should not be used? Seems to me it, plus other test procedures should be considered. Can you identify a test that does result in a correct result on all occasions?
How often does the wing frequency test procedure get it right versus how often does it get it wrong? How much effort is expended doing the wing frequency procedure? Chris McDonnell, I do not and have never condoned people being belittled. Can you explained how your phrase " Probably the same as arthritis mobility Mike which the members are familiar with." Is any less belittling that the suggestion that a teenager could help somebody sort an IT problem out? Mike you have made a statement: " Why would anyone want to comment on a heavily censored website? You can bet nothing critical of GFA policy will ever get published, just like has happened in the magazine." On what basis are you making the claim " Why would anyone want to comment on a heavily censored website?"? You do not appear to be a current member of the GFA so how are you accessing the GFA Forum to form this opinion? I have provided constructive criticism to the GFA, some of which has resulted in a change of policy and/or thinking, some of which has not. -----Original Message----- From: Aus-soaring [mailto:aus-soaring-boun...@lists.base64.com.au] On Behalf Of Justin Couch Sent: Wednesday, 2 December 2015 2:02 PM To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia. <aus-soaring@lists.base64.com.au> Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Wing frequency Procedure On 2/12/2015 12:46 PM, Justin Couch wrote: > I don't have exact details other than some extensive conversations > with the guys that found it (it was on a Form 2 inspector's course, of > all things...).

I believe the > glider is down with Scott Lennon currently and he or Tom could give more details. Got a call from Tom about this just now (yay internet!). Glider is fixed up and problems not as bad as originally thought. Series of smaller delaminations of the outer skin from the foam where that goes over the spar (The 300's design is different to most in that it has foam sandwich the entire wing chord). The biggest suspect area was due to the construction, and not a defect. Hard to pass on a second-hand description from over the phone. I understand what Tom was talking about but having troubles putting that description into text. Thus, wing frequency check would not have picked up anything, as it wasn't something that would have changed the check - so scratch that anecdote of the test not working! Apparently on it's way back to Bathurst in the next day or two to have the annual finished up.
