Full Glider Service

We log your equipment, confirm the serial number, note any concerns you have, check on the manufacturer's issue notice, and record the current state of the wing before work begins.

We measure air permeability at multiple points across the canopy. Porosity indicates the health of the silicon coating and fabric.

We examine webbing for UV damage, check all stitching, test speed bar pulleys and Brummel hooks, inspect maillons for corrosion, quick links for fraying, and verify brake handle attachment.

A visual assessment of the canopy, and risers to evaluate the overall condition and identify anything that needs closer attention.

Systematic inspection of the upper and lower outer surfaces, trailing edge, and leading edge with particular attention to attachment points. We flag any damaged cloth or stitching by location. Ribs and diagonal walls are inspected for tears, delamination, and stitching failures. Internal damage is invisible from outside but affects cell structure.

Every line is measured with a laser system and compared against the manufacturer's trim chart. Deviations are corrected at the maillon connections to restore the original flight characteristics.

The wing is inflated to verify canopy shape, check for crossed lines, and assess overall behaviour. This confirms the bench work translates to proper wing geometry. Weather dependant.

If corrections were significant, a flight test is recommended to verify in-air behaviour — speed range, brake response, and symmetry under load. Weather dependant.
