Wing Frequency measuring app

And remember to do this while the fuselage is in a cradle resting firmly
on
the ground. The tire and suspension will affect the frequency.

I would check the manual for the method used. Some manufacturers
specifically state the aircraft to be on wheel and tail skid, with tyre
pressures checked to be in a certain range. Using cradles will result in
deviations from previous methods used.

Eric the issue would not be in specifics but in consistence, The actual freq number isnt that important unless it is radically diff than that given for the glider as delivered. To me, its the fact that a guy should decide a method of measurment and make a measure, then repeat that exact method to see if there is change over time or after a landing or high G event.

I think we agree on this one. That is why it is important to check which
method the manufacturer used when doing his initial measurement. Saves you
a lot of hassle...
