DuoDiscus Wing
Enough time has past such that several DuoDiscus wings must have been
inspected. However, there have been no reports as to what was found during the inspection or what, if anything had to be done. All owner should communicate with each other so that we all can have a better handle on what is happening to the fleet. I would like to request that all owners provide the following information when available. It would be appropriate to obtain data for all ships; those that passed and those that failed. 1) Serial Number 2) Any problems doing the inspection 3) Results of the inspection 4) What repairs, if any, were required 5) Cost or reimbursement from Schempp-Hirth 6) Any other info that you would care to share. Some voids were found in the spar of the ship that I am involved with (S/N 217). In one spot a wire could be inserted for what appeared to be the full width of the spar cap. The ship was transported to M & H for a "second opinion" and any repairs as required. I will provide additional info when the ship is returned home. Duane |
