Testing Dacron Sailcloth

Did our club ever get that $30 Dacron Fabric Tester originally designed by Quicksilver, I understand? According to http://www.ultralightnews.ca/sails/fabrictesting.htm, unlike the Maule fabric tester, it is a Belt tension tester, which can be purchased with special end for testing fabric.




In the EAA video linked at the title above, Brian Carpenter demonstrates how the tool works and how important it is make sure we don't try to fly with unsafe sailcloth.

I, for one, would like if we could add this tool to our club toolbox in time for the Spring flying season. My annual is due in April.
