Uh oh. That's no good. Has an AD for the Arcus been issued yet? Lots of load on those spoilers for sure.

For the Arcus, there was a June AD for the inspection of the airbrake bell crank. For my Arcus, the UK agent Southern Sailplanes said the bell cranks were fine when they carried out the inspection.

By the way, there is a Google Group for Arcus operators at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!fo...pp-hirth-arcus
