Standard Cirrus C-Hook

Randy,

I see you have already been active on the Std Cirrus forum and have taken
my advice before I even posted it!

My only observaton is that you appear to be quoting a US registration
number. The number that Schempp-Hirth (and tehir agent) will be
interested in will be the glider serial number which is stated in the
glider log book/flight manual and on the small aluminium Schempp-Hirth
registration plate on the inside of the fuselage. In German is is listed
as 'Bau Nr.' and then 3 digits (possibly 2 if yours is a very early
one). Grob and some other manufactures bulit Std Cirruses under licence
so if Schempp-Hirth did not make your glider you need to tell them that.

Be aware that the wings and tailpane will also have 'Bau Nr.' on a very
small plate which may be different from the fuselage/verall glider serial
number.

Schempp-Hirth were extremely accomodating with the tailplane bush
replacement kit for my Std Cirrus (and later winglets). Almost all of
their staff speak English

Also see the Std Cirrus website and its Forum - over 330 owners there.

For the tailplane diagrams from the home page select
'issues' from the radio buttons just under the web page title
then select
'elevator'

Bottom line - fit the right part and ensure that it is fitted/adjusted
correctly - control surface movement/measurements iaw the flight manual.

Good luck.
