Thanks to Kraig Coomber with Moyes USA
On Monday I snapped a batten on my Wills Wing T2C 144 when I turtled the glider on landing. I hit some turbulence in strong winds and got turned around just before I landed (my hands were still on the base tube). Dustin mentioned that the crash was soft (thankfully it was on soft dirt, so there was no damage other than the snapped batten).
I spoke with Kraig about the batten and said that he had batten material and could make me up a new one (10 mm instead of 12 mm). I was very thankful as there were no backup ribs available.
Turns out he didn't have to make up a rib. He gave me two ribs from a Litesport and they fit perfectly. I used two Litesport ribs to make them equal on each side.
Thanks to Kraig for his great support.
