Perhaps of interest to builders, and to anyone contemplating repair work - 
here's
a historical and practical document on aircraft (sailplane) composite 
construction
and repair methodology, originating with Ursula Hnle, the late and highly
regarded German ...

"Grand Dame of gliding", died on 1st April 2009, aged 83"

http://www.dg-flugzeugbau.de/flickfibel-e.html

The document is a free download pdf, although the page asks for a small donation
for any use. 

I see that this document was a mandatory call-out on some repair procedure 
worksheets
for sailplanes. 

Perhaps a reminder here of the real origins composite methods, as promulgated by
Burt Rutan and others; although of 90's era, there is reference to the first
edition of this document dated 1967, back when I was in shorts gazing skywards.


Enjoy.
