Note that the metal attach points have composite broke off above them.. Now all the other 300's are to be inspected to see if they are safe...... But can they? Several years ago a composite wing on an acrobatic aircraft broke in the USA. The other owners of the same type aircraft contacted every major and some minor companies who used composites in construction of their aircraft. No one ever said it was possible to test composite parts. If you sand bag a part and it doesnt fail, it only means it passed that test. Do it again with the exact load and it may fail. Unless they know something about testing conposites that I dont know, I may have thrown away a $25,000 wing.!!!!!! the site is is
