Libelle spoilers by
Boom Powell
Are any other Libelle fliers having difficulty extending the spoilers. Mine have become very stiff, sometimes requiring two hands to unlock.

T35 GelCoat by
Bojack J4
Anyone know where I can get some of the T35 gelcoat here in the states that DG finished my LS-10 with?
I am told there are alternatives but would really rather use the original stuff if I could get it.
Thanks,
John Bojack

Mylar replacement by
Bojack J4
How often should the mylar be redone on a horizontal stab/elevator?
The glider is always stored indoors in its trailer,and
everything looks fine with the factory installed tapes, etc.
There is sometimes a quiet air sound that changes pitch with elevator deflection especially when cold.
