Default ASK 21 grounded after November 30 ? ? ?

I inquired about this with Schleicher. This is only an Australian response to superficial cracking in the thickend resin around the spar butt at the wing root. These cracks are the subject of conversation at nearly every annual inspection of all ASK 21s that I look at. They show up fairly early in the service life and I have never seen any of them become more than superficial.
