NDT would work if you jigged up an accurate test bed. I would be more
concerned with rope weak links used in aerotowing than TOST weak links if I
wanted to test something. From many years of observation I'm pretty
confident that the TOST links perform as expected.


Me too. Tost aerotow weak links are pretty good as well - I thought
just about everyone had gone over to them in place of rope. Mind you,
I knew one club which put a good stout length of rope in parallel with
the Tost link "because they are so expensive if they break and we lose
half the connector."

Ho hum.
