We had a ground handling mishap and we will need to replace the final

waiting for a reply from Blanik America but I have the impression that
this is a hard to find part. Any junked Blaniks out there getting
parted out?
Also, could someone with access to a parts catalog give me the part
number?
I imagine it must be fairly common for this area to get damaged as it
absorbs all the abuse from the tail skid/wheel. Ours already had a
small crack that had been patched.

As pretty much all Blanik L13s have been grounded in Europe you might
find a plentiful supply of spares there. See

Hmmm, let's see:

"Ratio between Aerobatics Flight Hours (FH) and total accumulated
FH since new"

"If the sailplane records are missing or incomplete, no further
flights are permitted"

So, do Blanik logbooks have a column for akro time? If not, yep, that
grounds 'em all...
