GLIDER SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Unless you are experienced in composite repair methods, we recommend you start with the basics taught in the Glider Repair Lab 1 training video. This first repair video will get you up to speed on the materials and basic technical methods that you'll need to know before learning the more advanced repair techniques taught in the Glider Repair Lab 2.

We all crash, and we don't always have the cash to just buy a replacement glider. In this second Repair Lab, you'll learn some advanced methods for fixing the most challenging kinds of composite airframe damage suffered in high-energy crashes.

First you'll then learn some really useful new techniques for putting a broken F3J-style carbon fuselage back together from 3 seperate pieces. You'll learn how to make a custom carbon doubler piece that will mechanically join the rear end of an Icon 2 boom and then finish the repair with carbon cloth and peel-ply fabric used as a compression-release layer. Then you will watch me re-join the front fuselage nose area that was completely broken off with both internal and external laminations along with a cool method of inlaying carbon tow to bridge some shattered cracks in critical structural areas. Final repair finishing from sanding and filling to primer coats are also taught in detail.

We then work on a carbon/kevlar/glass Onyx JW wing with a torn-out wing tip joiner and major center panel damage. At first this wing seems like a write-off, but with careful re-assembly, reinforcment with carbon and glass, and a ton of filling and sanding, this wing comes out looking close to new and stronger than stock. You'll learn every technique and trick used to make this no-longer-in-production high performance wing safe again for soaring. You will learn how to fill cracks, re-glue drag spars so they are straight, fabricate a root rib, install new incidence pins, reinforce hard points, and do all the final finishing and painting.
