By request of another member, here is my "restoration log" or something along those lines from when I refinished my 1965 Schempp-Hirth SH-1 back in 2012-2013.
Part 1: Wings and Tails
Part 2: Fuselage

By 2018 I got tired of rigging out of the nearly 40 year old wooden trailer it came with and built it a new trailer. Build log for that is here.

Enjoy!
