Certified Glider Inspection/Repair Service Center Make sure your reserve parachute is freshly packed, at least once a year. Thanks

FLY.BE.SAFE

Grit collects in the reserve parachute (causing damage through abrasion). Damp from ballast and wet grass can seep into the reserve (causing mildew and hampering opening time). The fabric gets compressed which delays opening. Packing elastics can perish, badly packed reserves can slide out of nappies, loops can tangle, and pins can get damaged. All materials degrade with age, even when not used. Although you can repack one yourself following the manufacturer's instructions, we recommend using a professional service to ensure it's done right and that the canopy gets a thorough inspection on a light table (at least every 2 years). Steerable reserves are more complicated to pack. We do offer a reserve repacking service by USHPA certify instructor. Let's us know if you will have questions.

We've repaired many gliders with leading edges damaged by prop strikes.

The leading edge is one of the most challenging areas to repair because of its curved shape. Replacing an entire damaged panel requires precise cutting, careful alignment, and accurate stitching.

It's not an easy repair, but it's something we handle regularly at AirQuest Paragliding.

Always happy to help pilots get their wings back in the air!

Fly safe!

This PPG glider came to us with significant propeller damage.

We replaced four damaged panels and 17 lines- trim the glider, then completed a pressure test and full post-repair inspection to make sure everything was ready to fly again.

Another glider back in the air.

Another big repair in the books. The top-surface damage required a complete leading edge panel replacement. Lots of careful work, and a result we’re happy with.

From torn internals and damaged panels to a wing that is back together and flying again. Another successful repair completed at AirQuest Paragliding.
No damage is too big, and no repair is too small. Got damaged gear? Give us a call.

Serious wing damage? Don’t write it off yet. We handle everything from small repairs to major rebuilds. Give us a call.

Before writing off a damaged glider, get it inspected. Some repairs look impossible until the work begins.

Can this be fixed? Absolutely. A badly damaged paraglider brought back to flying condition, one panel at a time. Here’s a look at the repair process from damage to finished result.

This is how it’s done.

A damaged section is carefully repaired with a professionally sewn patch, color-matched to the original fabric. Clean work, proper technique, and a result that restores both strength and appearance.

We also perform a air pressure test to make sure everything is within spec and safe to fly.

Done right, it’s hard to spot unless you’re specifically looking for it.

Full line set replacement usually doesn’t require a trim check, but we ran one anyway and found something unexpected.

The B lines measured 25–30 mm short. After checking the risers, it turned out the BC system had shrunk and was preventing the B lines from extending properly.

We replaced the lines on both risers, and the issue is now resolved.

This wing came in with some pretty serious leading edge damage.

To fix it properly we had to open the nose, remove the damaged sections, and replace one panel before sewing everything back together.

The last photo shows the wing hanging again for inspection after the repair. Always nice to see it back in one piece.
