You have raised a very important point BALSA MODEL. With previous aircraft structures, there was a wealth of experience in carrying out airframe inspections to look for potential failures. However, with this newer type of material, there is little experience worldwide when the time comes to start looking at these airframes. It will probably be a trial and error/learn from other people's mistakes learning curve.
