Grob 103 3000 Hour Inspections

[Jim Kellett]

We have a G-103 that needs the 3000 hour to extend airframe lifetime,
and are trying to find a good shop east of the Mississippi who knows
how to do this. Suggestions?

Jim,

Roger Fowler can do it. He's located in North Carolina, very near to
Raleigh in the town of Apex. He recently repaired my glider after a
couple of rod ends broke (general fatigue or just fed up with my
landings over the past 15 years...) in the landing gear assembly,
which allowed the landing gear to collapse during the landing roll-
out. That work included a bit of fiberglass repair (internal, on a
bulkhead where it was hard to access), some replacement of a couple of
rod ends, and a bit of welding.

And, he's recently performed a 3,000 hr inspection on another glider.

He does excellent work.

His e-mail is: n811fr at rogerfowler dot com
