More hearsay.
The Caproni A21 has a similar outer wing panel connection.Here's the NTSB
report on one that came apart.
"...on their takeoff roll, the glider's right wing deflected upwards (about 90
degrees)..."
Had heard from this aircraft's previous owner that the pilot's assistant had
checked the rigging before flight, and checked the pins from above and below.
Turning clockwise from below will withdraw the pins, which are visible.IF this
was the case, the second inspection by someone unfamiliar with the A21 wasn't
much help.
The second inspection is not noted in the NTSB report.There was no legal
action, to my knowledge.
