Repair & Overhaul Workshops

Repair workshops for all sailplanes, Microlights and aircraft. We specialise in all repairs in steel tube, sheet metal, timber and fabric. Our paint shop has produced the award winning Acrosport 2 G-OJDA, and recently rebuilt and painted Pawnee G-BNZV, numerous MCR Banbi aircraft including G-TBEE and G-LVLM. Fabric recovering of all aircraft and sailplanes using Diatex fabric and Sky-tech paints ensures a superb lightweight finish.

Welding

CAA certified welding of small components and complete airframes is available at very competitive rates backed up by the extensive Skycraft stocks of 4130N steel tube and sheet. In house machining and guillotine cutting reduces costs and speeds up delivery.

Cable Manufacture

On site manufacture and proof testing of aircraft control cables (sailplanes, Microlights and permit aircraft only) in both standard Nicopress and Roll swaged fittings with a quick turn round time in both stainless steel and galvanised cable. An emergency same day service is offered backed by extensive in house material stocks. We regret we must decline to complete work on materials sourced elsewhere as we cannot be certain of their quality or specification.

Aircraft Weight & Balance

Digital 3 pad weighing scales accurate to within 0.5% up to 2000 lbs per pad permit us to carry out either on site or in house computer generated weight and balance reports.

Aircraft Recovery

Sky-craft offer a recovery and storage service to private owners and insurance companies. On site covered storage up to 10,000 square feet is available and no on site storage charges are levied for aircraft subsequently repaired in our workshops or we purchase the salvage.
