It broke the test rig, good stuff!

I'm not sure I'd fullyt trust the engineering of folks who can't
design a
simple whiffle tree.

The wing failed to break at well past its design limits so they
continued
and the rig broke. Its the wing engineering that was being tested
not the
rig.

The MOD, after the Grob 103 was issued to the Air Cadets, put one on
the rig. When they had proved the service life they asked the testers to
break the wings. It is said they gave up after they broke the rig 3
times.
Just one other thought, with a waiting list as long as your arm and a
waiting time of over 12 months for some gliders why would anyone
want to spend time and money on marketing?
