Marc,

Well put, but not my meaning.. I was not suggesting
that RAS etc were the only ways, just that some people
who owned and operated Duos might not have access,
and that by implication it was important for the formal
channels to operate as well..

You shouldn't assume those were the only ways those
affected were notified. I
received a phone call from Rex Mayes at Williams Soaring
Center a full 24 hours
before anything appeared on RAS or the web site. Schempp-Hirth
apparently asked
him to contact all Duo owners on the west coast of
the US.

BTW, Rex now has an endoscope, and is in the midst
of his first inspection...
