I am looking for a sale plane (i.e., a test structure) to use for Ground Vibration Tests (GVT) during our Hands-On Modal Testing & Analysis Seminar. The objective is to identify the wing "flutter" modes. We'll also create an FE Model for FEM-Test correlation and FE Moel Updating. The plane will never fly, it is simply a test structure. The wing span should be in the 10' to 15' range. Thanks, Jim Steedman [714-441-3488, , www.navcon.com]
It would be nice to know if this is a destructive or non-destructive test.. Lack of candor implies it is destructive.

How many people have a full scale sailplane with a 15' wingspan? Perhaps this should be on a RC model forum someplace.
