Sailplane repair recommendations

Hi - A friend of mine had his quite-sweet LS4 damaged in a tornado last September in Minnesota (no mud slides or earthquakes for us, no sireee). He is looking for a quality repair. The damage is non-structural. Anyone have a strong recommendation? He has seen the ads in the back of soaring but doesn't want to just throw a dart.. Thanks! Don

many years ago, Gerhlein did a major repair ( undetectable) on the PIK 20E which I bought subsequently. They even kept good records which I needed.

Thanks. I agree. He replaced two Grob 103 canopies for me and they came out great.

Fidel is a master craftsman and an artist when it comes to repairs and finish paint. He is very conscientious and detail oriented.
