  • K&L Soaring out of business?

    From S Aero@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jan 9 09:46:50 2023
    Have tried multiple times to contact them with no response. I’m guessing they went out of business?

    Anybody have suggestions of possible other part sources for the Schweizer gliders?

    Kyle answered the last time I called, but that's been a couple of months. Web site is up and running, never tried a Facebook message. Maybe someone's on a cruise or ski vacation or down with a bit of flu.

    I know folks have been talking to them recently (i.e. before the holidays) about parts and also their big projects, and they are very much a going concern. That said, it's a small (very small) business, so it's certainly possible that they're out for
    the holidays or otherwise busy. Did you try both phone and email?

    Thanks to all for responses. Yes, did call and email with no response. Just used the email Hank suggested. Hopefully that works.
