"Glider Warming" gift suggestions

[Uncle Fuzzy]

Recently, a club member got a new (to him) glider. I thought it would
be nice to put together a few useful items to give him as a "Glider
Warming" gift. Here's what I have so far:

MKIV yaw string
3M General Adhesive Cleaner
Bowlus wing gap tape

Any other ideas for small 'nice to have' items??

Thanks

Canopy cleaner with proper microfiber cloth or whatever to keep it
scratch free
A pack of Sham-Wows for drying the glider after bathtime.

I looked at the EXP Op Limits and there's no mention of a current
manual, so at least he doesn't need 245 Euros.

A copy of the classic Ed Kilbourne song:
"Honey, I need a new glider..."

MKIV . . . excellent choice (but I'm biased, of course). Also the QV
(Quiet Vent) is an inexpensive glider improvement (just $6) that
reduces noise by 10 dba from the side window flip-out vent. As I
mentioned to you in a PM, I'm sending you a free QV and MKIV to cover
a previous warranty issue. Thanks for being one of my customers!

By the way, towing back to the Beatty ramp after his first flight,
Bill confessed that it was his first landing in a composite glider.
Nice job!

Get Bumper to throw in one of those neat glider decals he has -- they
look great on a car or truck and they let the world know what your
love is. They come in 4 different sizes. We also sell them at
SoaringNV, but Bumper is already sending you a package so just ask him
to include one in that.

I really want one of those for ME, but Bumper has already sent the QV
and MKIV yaw strings off. Besides, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have
fit in the package ;-P

To update the list:
MKIV yaw string
QV
3M General Adhesive Cleaner
Bowlus Maxi Tape
Canopy Cleaner and cotton flannel polishing cloths

Most of what I put in my package has already been mentioned, however,
I do buy a bucket and use wingtape to put the glider id on the bucket
and stuff the shamwows, yaw string, etc., inside the bucket. Only
problem with the decals, is that I don't want to give them away!

Perfect! Just the thing to tie the whole package together!
