Upper Midwest Maintenance

A couple of ADs are coming due on my ship, so I thought I'd try to get
a bunch of other things taken care of at the same time (some minor
gelcoat work, a new air strut for the canopy, new mylar seals, maybe a
new seat harnes, etc.).

Can anyone recommend a good facility for all this work in the MN, WI,
IL, IN, MI area? I'd appreciate "one-stop shopping," and would prefer
not to flog the old trailer too far afield.

Thanks,

Mark -

I recommend Stanton Airfield
Stanton MN.
http://www.soarmn.com/stanton/
30 minutes North of Rochester MN

32 Gliders based there plus a great AI/A&P staff and paint-shop.

In west Michigan, I'd check out Benz Aviation located
in Ionia, MI (just off I-96, between Grand Rapids and
Lansing). Ask for Mat.

If you need fiberglass work, I'd go to Dave Nelson.
He flies out of Ionia, and lives in Grand Haven.
Email me for Dave's phone number if interested.
