I believe a DAR can look at the parts and certify them for use.

we had to do that with the top fiberglass cover for the rudder on our glider

But my question is, if we want to make our own instead of buying them, do
we
need to get an STC?

Sorry, it is a Schweizer 1 36, which I assume would have a standard
certificate. He hasn't flown it yet, so he isn't dragging...yet...


It appears the 1-36 has wing tip wheel assemblies that are approved as
part of its type design. (Ref. photo page 201 in the book Sailplanes
by Schweizer) I'm sure they are expensive if bought from Schweizer.
They have Standard Airworthiness Certificates.
