You might even remember the article.<\/li>\n<li>There are still lots of older gliders that can get safety improvements through some rather simple modifications.<br \/>\nThis is especially true for the special hood pin, the Roeger Hook, that can prevent head injuries in an emergency jettison of the canopy.<br \/>\nAs described in our Technical Notes the Roeger Hook can be retrofitted in older DG and LS aircrafts. For LS gliders it is mandatory until March 31st.<\/li>\n<li>We also recommend installation of the so called &#8220;Piggott Hook&#8221;, which prevents the air brakes from being inadvertently sucked out when starting with unlocked air brakes.<br \/>\nDG-200\/400\/800 can all be retrofitted with this device.<br \/>\nAnd the material needed is quite inexpensive &#8211; your life is NOT!<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0 The NOAH system is slowly gaining popularity as an easy to install, non-disruptive and inexpensive rescue system.<br \/>\nTechnical Notes on this are available for all DG and LS single seaters. A retrofit is also in this case highly recommended.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0 During the winter, we refinish many older gliders. Our workshop performs such work with our famous &#8220;DG-quality&#8221; for all types of aircrafts and any paint system.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0 We and our representatives with repair shop also perform complete maintenance work on your airplane, or \u0093just\u0094 an Annual Inspection if you so prefer. The last few years our service department has been significantly expanded just to be able to serve you with these kinds of services.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Please contact Frank Goetze for an appointment.<br \/>\n<a href=\"&#109;&#97;&#105;&#108;&#116;o:&#103;&#111;&#101;&#116;ze&#64;dg&#45;&#102;&#108;&#117;&#103;ze&#117;gbau&#46;&#100;&#101;\">g&#111;et&#122;e&#64;dg&#45;&#102;&#108;&#117;&#103;&#122;eug&#98;&#97;&#117;&#46;&#100;e<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; friedel weber &#8211;<br \/>\nTranslation: Lars Erik Lundin, CA<\/p>\n<h1><\/h1>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Autumn leaves are falling and the workshop is calling! &#8220; What to think about regarding Winter Maintenance: Quite a few years ago we put together an article describing the maintenance work on a glider \u0096 in this case a DG-808.
