Looking for Wedekind sleeves and tailskid with wheel...

[[email protected]]

for a newly acquired Standard Cirrus (5T, soon to be terrorizing Club Class). As far as I can tell, both may be out of production, but perhaps there are some gathering dust on a shelf. Any leads?

Thanks,
Marc

In 2004 in the UK we needed Wedekind sleeves for a Std Cirrus and I
could find none available anywhere in the world. Eventually Herr
Wedekind manufactured another batch. IIRC some of the batch ended
up with Southern Sailplanes (SH agent) and some with McLean
Aviation (DG agent). I guess that lot will have been used by now but
those agents may be able to help.

Highly recommended if you can get them.

Thanks, that's the sort of lead I'm looking for...

I don't know if they fit the Cirrus, but I bought some wedekind sleeves about 2 years ago from http://ltb-lindner.com

I purchased a new tail M & H just a couple of months ago. Very reasonable price and straight from the Schempp Hirth dealer. Give Heinz a call.

I have a tailskid with wheel that will fit if the tailboom diameter is ~6".
