Default Wing Bending Oscillation

Rowan,

[Astir]
I had been shown a long time before how to check for
tailboom damage using the same method - a gentle push
back and forth at the top of the fin.


could you please explain exactly how you do that?

Thank you,
Michael

With the glider rigged and with one wing on the ground push and pull at
the top of the fin. You will hear bad problems as creaks or unusual
movement in the fin top. It can help to have someone with their ear
close to the bottom of the fin around the rear wheel and possibly the
front of the fin where it fairs into to boom.

Thank you,
Michael
