Hi folks,
Well, I REALLY whacked last weekend (another story) and broke my carbon base tube in half. What to do now? Buy a new one from Wills for $930( !!??). Fix it (not gonna happen if I have to do it)? Change to aluminum (don't wanna)? Thus this post.
Does anyone know someone who is willing to fix carbon fiber for a reasonable price? We're taking several hundred dollars here for a high quality job. If not that, how about someone who has somehow destroyed their glider, but the carbon base tube is in reasonable condition? OR how about someone who really wants a carbon base tube (they are nice and warm on the hands during those high flights), and would be willing to fix a broken one (we could make a deal - it's yours for less than half the cost of a new one). Maybe there is some option I haven't thought of? Go ahead and propose something! No need to propose learning how to land - I already know that .
Oh yeah - the size of just the carbon part (not including the machined aluminum ends) is 50 inches. It's from a T2C136.
