RMC,

I didn´t say virgin wingset, I just said the static test article was never used for fatigue testing, so the statement "So the wing set in question would have completed as many cycles as any aircraft achieves in service...then failed at 147% " is wrong as well.
The wingset in question was not virgin, but not a slut either. Just been tested a few times before for several static load cases, flap system gap checks under deformation etc. sometimes exceeding limit load.
