Some filler and sanding was needed to get it flush with the fuselage.
Date: 03-09-2009
- Top cover plates of the lh wing speed-brakes ready to be glued to the wing.
A lot of work was done on the complex brake system before we could continue.

Date: 02-08-2009
- Boroscopic inspection of the rh wing main spar.
Water coused damage on the upper and lower cover panels of the speed brakes.

Date: 24-01-09
- Steering components instaled.
Date: 13-01-09
- Airbrakes temporary installed to check the adjustment and the dimensions.
It was quite a lot of work to get the complete assy sorted out.
It appeared that it had been mixed up previously.
Check "refurbished parts" section for more detailed pictures of the brake assembly.
Date: 13-01-09
- Fuselage with canopy installed.
Date: 09-01-09

Date: 17-10-08
- finally closed!
Date: 06-10-08
-only one panel left to install.
Date: 08-09-08
- The fuselage almost nearing completion.
Both aft left and right hand longitudional pre-formed skin panels has been put in place.
Date: 01-07-08
- Here you see Peter removing glue residue from the opposite side of the fuselage. The right hand skin panel also needs replacement. The two forward panels are prepared and will be placed when the two longitudinal skin panels are installed.
Date: 25-06-08
- Nice view on the newly installed pre-formed panel.
Projects like these, are inpossible without the help of skilled specialists with the knowledge and expirience. Many thanks go to Peter, Martijn and Jan.
Date: 25-06-08
- The pre-formed panel is glued in place.
It was a lot of work getting the two 2mm multiplex panels glued together in the right curve.
As you can see, the work also has to be carried out on the opposite side.
Date: 05-03-08
- The delaminated skin panel was removed on one side.
It appears to be a birch multiplex sandwich panel with a softer inner layer.
This panel was problably used to prevent dents and construction reinforcements to be visual on the outside of the fuselage.
Date: 03-03-08
- The reinforcements are glued to the fuselage to provide extra strenght to the contact surface.
Date: 03-03-08
- The result was perfect, the two panels were glued perfectly. The preformed panel was cut in the right dimensions an prepared for installation.
Date: 29-02-08
- The new preformed panel is getting its shape. Two 2mm panels are glued together with Aerodux glue in a mold. The mold was copied from the fuselage to get the right curve.
Date: 05-03-08
- A closer view
Date: 03-01-08
- The nose fairing had to be removed to gain acces to the front rudder pedal attachment and the winchhook control cable modification.

Date: 03-01-08
-Rear bulkhead top painted and the wings attachment treated with primer.
Date: 03-01-08
-All metal parts removed, and some woodwork painted with Rubol paint.

Date: 03-01-08
-Nose fairing removed to gain acces to the rudder pedal attachment.
Date: 22-12-07
- A view to the rear where the construction can be seen.
No delamination or other discrepancies found here!
Date: 22-10-07

Date: 22-10-07
-Here you see the intermediate section of the fuselage and the top part of the A-frame construction. The lower section was cleaned after the main-wheel was removed.
Date: 15-10-2007
- Stripped wings and fuselage in the workshop.
Date: 15-10-2007
Left and right wing with covering removed and completely paintstripped.
Some repairs still have to be carried out, but no major discrepancies where found.
Date: 15-10-2007
BGA qualified glider inspector, cutting a opening in the wing root.
Date: 15-10-2007
IBGA qualified glider inspector, created an opening to get a clear view inside.
It even smells good, was his comment.
The temporary hatch will be closed later.
Date: 15-10-2007
BGA qualified glider inspector. Checking the inside of the wing with special boroscopic camera, so that the wing has not to be opened.
Date: 15-10-2007
Checking the construction of the wing attachement assembly. A few bolts were removed for corrosion checks. No excessive corrosion or pitting was found.
Our first inpression was that the wing attachement assembly was exposed to moisture too long. after removing all paint, it looked much better, and was in a sound condition.
Date: 15-10-2007
Removing all metal parts from the paint stripped fuselage. Sadly enough, the winch-hook seems to come loose at some point from the fuselage.
The fuselage needs much attention compared with the wings.
Detailed information will be posted in the future.
