Documentation

When we acquired the Grasshopper, loads of spare-parts (in their original package!!) came along with it, as well as a reasonably complete documentation. The documentation includes:

  • Form 3935/3936 (Glider (& Winged Target) Servicing Form)
  • Primary Glider Operation (ACP 173)
  • Primary Glider Operation - Instructors Course Notes
  • Aircraft Inventory (somehow from WZ826...?)
  • RAFSC Schedule-5B (Daily Servicing Schedule)
  • TC Schedule-5B (Primary Servicing Schedule)
  • A.P. 4472A Vol. 1, 2, 3 & 6 (General and Technical Iinformation, Operating Instructions, Spare Parts List, Instructions for Repairs)
  • A.P. 4472A Vol.5 (Basic servicing schedules)

The documentation is digitally available. If anyone is interested in these documents, please contact us.

However, our collection still isn't complete. From references in these documents, we derived the following list of missing documents:

  • ACP 22
  • A.P. 830
  • A.P. 880C
  • A.P. 2662A - Standard Repairs for Airframes
  • A.P. 3044 - Gliding Instructors Handbook
  • A.P. 3158

We would like to get (copies of) these documents to complement the set.

Own documentation

During the overhaul, the mounting of the disassembled parts, the size and position of features on the covering and the construction of the structural parts that were repaired, were registered with a digital camera. In this way, everything can easily be retraced.
