- prior to beginning its operation;
- any time you suffer a hard landing to find a possible deformation of the frame;
- every year or 50 hours of airtime whichever comes sooner.

Inspect all tubing for any residual deformations, dents, signs of corrosion or cracking, especially
around bolt holes and sleeve ends. Inspect all wires for broken strands, kinks, corrosion etc.
Especially take care about the bottom side wire which is the most loaded in the glider construction!
Change wires every 100 hours or every year whichever comes sooner.

visible.
