Discus CS wings

Now that the dust has settled how many Discus wings
were found to have a problem.

I know of a couple of Duos but haven't actually heard
of any Discuses - apart from the original one in France

One in our club, Drammen Flyklubb (http://www.dfk.no/)

The model was actually a Discus b, but the wings were Czech produced.

This glider was built in 1997. It was discovered a significant failure in
the wings during the inspection some weeks ago. Now it has been repaired.

At least one CS here in northern California with voids large enough to
be a serious structural issue...
