I recently got a PIK-20B with a soaring buddy and we are looking for a replacement L'Hotellier fitting for the elevator connection... the existing one has quite a bit of corrosion. It seems like Eiriavion Oy is still the holder of the type certificate, but I have been unable to find their contact info anywhere. Does anyone know if they're still around or where we might find this part? Pictures of the fitting here:

Check with Robert Mudd 505.269.8234. He has lots of glider "stuff".

This is the Finland Government webpage with supporting documents for the PIK 20 glider: https://www.traficom.fi/en/pik-20-support .

The L'Hotellier part number should not be too difficult to find as they were used all over the place. The U.S. suppliers should have them. If not, segelflug.de would be a good place to look.

There is also a PIK Google Group that is very helpful.

The group is at https://groups.google.com/g/pik20 , with files archive and a forum. Chuck Lohre posted in Dec that he had some Hotellier connectors for Pik20D for sale. Probably the same for B?
