Default How to find someone to inspect a sailplane in New York?

It has been said of the SHK, "You can trust a tree", but wooden
gliders are made up of tree bits. The spar laminations are not
resorcinal, but modified casien glue typically. I have seen clear
adhesive failures in one case.

Knowledgeable wood and fabric mechanics do not grow on, ahem, trees

Would you consider a nice two seat metal ship instead?
