Most welcome. If you are referring to the bga inspection programme for wooden Schleichers, I think poor maintenance and storage is a major factor. We seem to get less problems on the continent. Most issues I have seen so far are in the early Schleichers and license-built ones. The build quality on some is appallling in some cases. Have two rebuilds in the workshop at the moment, and there have been other too.

An extra NDT tool wood be nice. But costs are an issue as you say.
