Scarborough Sailplanes

Scarborough Sailplanes provides services for glider and sailplane owners, combining maintenance expertise with support for aircraft sales and HpH sailplanes. Its work ranges from routine annual inspections, including GFA Form 2 inspections, to detailed pre-buy inspections intended to help ensure a sailplane is ready for use or competition. The company is a GFA-approved maintenance facility and says inspections can also be carried out at an owner’s home or local club.

Repairs are completed in-house, covering issues such as cosmetic marks, out-landing damage, firm touchdowns, fatigue and stress fractures. Scarborough Sailplanes also undertakes restorations, from cockpit improvements to more extensive upgrades. These services include cockpit upholstery, avionics upgrades, polishing, refinishing and pre-sale preparation. The company aims to manage repair logistics and oversight as part of its maintenance support, and states that it works to complete jobs on time, within budget and to a high standard. Its website also lists trailers among its offerings and invites customers to make contact about their sailplane needs.
