hi Chris, I fly out of Auckland Gliding Club! I picked the glider up from Feilding! the wings arnt bad to do! The gelcoat is hard to rub back when it is that old! We just use a 60 grit paper and a long about two foot half square alloy bar! If its real bad you mite need to use an electric sander to get the cracks out, then spray on new gelcoat and bar that back to get the correct profile. My paint was mostley the fuse which is real fidley to do. Mike e-mailed me and was suprised to hear that the glider was flying befor his scares had healed! I broke the wheel brake last wendnesday landing in a paddock with full air brake. The wheel brake for golf oskar is on the air brake lever! There is a mod to put a lever on the control stick like youres! Next time i go to wellington I mighte have to have a look to see how its done, ill have to do that mod to mine becouse 4 inch brake assembleys are hard to find!
