Default fiberglass sailplane repair/refurbish

Hi all,

I have an older Graupner Cumulus 91 EP sailplane thats been around for a while. The fuse is really starting to show wear. The fiber glass has been cracked in a few places, and the white gel coat has spider webbed. Can this be repaired? Are there any companies/individuals doing this kind of chore?

Landi,

Just what I've been looking for. I already have the cracks CAed back together (fuse never broke in half). What would you charge to repair the finish on my favorite sailplane?
