Round the airfield yesterday we were talking about regelling or refinishing costs. Someone mentioned that there is someone doing this in one of the eastern European countries at very reasonable cost.

Can anyone point me in the right direction with some details? ( Forget it Al, I'm not doing it myself this time )

Hello Ian,

This winter, we had our Mosquito refinished completely i Poland, by Mr. Adam Zientek. Adam can be considered 'the grand old man' of Polish soaring, he is now running a busy refinishing operation, mostly with former SZD Bielsko employees.

We are very impressed with the workmanship. The refinish comes complete with sign-off from an official quality control, and a photograph series documenting the process, and the repairs performed while 'naked'. I can recommend it, anytime.

Contact: Adam Zientek, Ul. Debowa 3/1 43-300 Bilesko-Biala Poland Fax +48 33 812 6851 (English works; German is better)

Happy Soaring, Lars Peder

I have experience with Aerospool in Prievidza, Slovakia. These guys do gelcoats for Shempp Hirth´s Ventus 2c and Discus 2, what I think is enough to refer about quality. They start production of glass Dynamic UL (could see it in Fridriechshafen 2001)and part of the biz is refinishing old gliders. They did my Ventus B refinish and it looks like new.
