1) What material are pockets typically made of? *Anything special that
I won't find at the local sewing shop?
-- Mine is leather, but I think a sturdy upholstery fabric might work
too.

2) What is used at the top of the pocket to make it stretchy.
-- I think this has been covered - stretch a piece of elastic inside
the rolled-over top lip of the pouch and stitch the ends together. The
"draw string" effect should keep the opening of the pouch tight

3) The pocket is attached to a long piece of matching material along
the interior. *I assume that this long piece has some stiff material
inside to give it rigidity. *What is it?
-- I suspect steel or a composite material. You could use either.

4) I assume that the old pocket is glued to the wall of the glider.
-- Mine is attached using three snap fasteners so I can remove it when
I choose. One half of each snap is glued to the cockpit wall and the
other half to the "stiff material" you mention in #3 that holds the
outside edge of the pocket stiff.

Any tricks in removing this?
-- Pulling or careful cutting with a blade of some sort. Use your
judgement.

5) What do I use to attach the new pocket to the wall of the glider?
-- Snaps or velcro depending on what seems to best suit the
application
