Hang Glider Service
All pilots make small repairs and inspect their wings regularly. However, it can be easy to overlook potentially dangerous faults. An Annual Inspection and report for your wing, will, at least, independently confirm your own routine checks and maintenance.
Glider check-over
This involves the removal of the outer leading-edge tubes and
a full internal inspection of the sail and airframe. (Recommended after
a heavy landing.)
Beginner / Intermediate ...... £55
Performance / Rigid Wing ...... £65
Glider stripdown
The sail is completely removed from the airframe.
Full sail,
airframe and rigging inspection. Any damaged parts will be replaced,
labour is included in the price. Parts and sail-repairs charged extra.
(Recommended once a year.)
