The aircraft is grounded by most European countries now, here in the UK about two
dozen are affected.

As I understand it the XL was grounded in the UK due to worries about the
cable AD, not the Dutch action. What will the UK authorities do to decide
whether to let them fly again?

Some good news
in Australia the RAA has not grounded any XL's there is 1imported CZAW built aircraft
and the rest are by zenith kits. We have a good Zenith XL network and he
was notified of the aileron tension issues and checked his A/C. yes his cables
were about 1/2 of what they should be. of note he had no flutter issues before
with the lower tensions.
The RAA here are happy with us having the SB in our XL newsletter, the remainder
of us are all builders of XL those finished and those still going. we built
it we should know how to check it, maintain it.
Common sense to the RAA.
Chris.
