WTB: Discus B or CS Winglets

[Ross[_3_]]

I am looing for a set of original Schempp-Hirth Discus winglets.
Does anyone have a set lying round not in use?

Cheers

There's a winglet kit for Discus B/CS on the M+H website.

Better than original. Aren't the Maughmer winglets approved mods?

Hi Jim,

If only it were that easy here.
The only certified winglet is the std winglet. I would happily change if I was legally allowed to do it.

If you're really serious, you might be able to do that using an FAA Form
337.

Sorry to hear that, Ross.
Sounds to me like an FAA 337 won't work.
How about using the barter system with someone who has an original set and would like to upgrade?

Hi Dan,

Based in the USA it would be easy enough.
Based in Europe like I am it makes it basically impossible. However the idea to help someone upgrade is a very good idea. Thanks Jim

Ross, maybe you could get an inspector that doesn't know the difference and just install the M&H set? :-)

Or you could live with the fact that you're not losing much in the way of
performance, have a better handicap & use less tape & time to rig in the
morning.

If I was flying in a handicapped comp I would definately fly without the
winglets.

And before you ask, No I won't sell you either of my sets.

For those unfamiliar, these must be for the glider with the creative registration:
D-KCUF
Built from a crashed Discus, best to read the registration backwards.

Hey Ross, are you back from NZ?
Hadn't looked at the original sender details!
By the way, my friend who bought the FSG2T is very happy with it.
