Hi group,

Does anybody know where I can get a rubber tailskid for an LS 4?

Thanks,

I think the last one I bought, I found it at: http://www.easternsailplane.com/catalog/index.php
This is the only one I've found, and it's not exactly the same as the
last one I bought in 2006.

Is the fuselage round on the bottom there, or is there a flat platform
for the skid to glue onto?

If it's round, I have a solution for you.

Thanks, Bob K.

sorry, I don't have these for the LS gliders..These rubber break off skids are all specific in size and shape for the gliders that used to use them, typically Grob, Schleicher, some early S-H gliders, Diamant and of course LS so they are not interchangeable, and if you don't have your contract paid for with DG(aka LS) it's just another one of those simple little, but necessary parts that they will not sell you
but try Üli's Pilots Shop http://www.segelflugbedarf24.de/11rollsp.htm they used to have several types and may still be able to help
you

I recently purchased a new tai skid for my LS4. I purchased it directly
from
a German supplier. It is a direct replacement. The web site has email
contact info. It may take several days to receive a reply

The website is fbw-schoenwald.de. You may need to google translate.

The owner requires a bank transfer as well as covering transfer fees. I
paid
for expedited delivery. I was please with the product and service

Pacific Aero Sports in the NW USA is the local LS rep.
He is able to get some LS parts direct from the suppliers and not from
DG, so the DG service contract is not required.

Thanks for all the replies! It turns out that there is a firm right
here in Argentina that makes tail skids and wing tip skids for several
makes and models (including LS 4) so problem solved.
The person who contacted me said he will be posting information here
soon.

Juan Carlos
