The molds and tooling for the Spirit/Falcon belong to some guys in the
Pacific Northwest, I can't remember who.

If you're looking for a high-performance kit sailplane, I can hook you
up. Carbon structure, auto-connecting controls, full-span flaperons,
nose-pivot canopy, the works.

Thanks, Bob K.

Bob,
I am interested in what you know about the Falcon and what may be available.

John, most of what I know about the Spirit and Falcon I have already
posted to this Usenet forum. Also, since I am offering a competing
product, everything I tell you should be automatically suspect.

Thanks, Bob K.

Bob, I ordered a crate of snake oil from you over a month ago and still haven't seen anything! There's masses out there to be fleeced & you're taking the high road. Sheesh!

Seriously though, the HP-24 hasn't gotten nearly the recognition it deserves. It's a well thought out modern sailplane that's accessible to the home built community. It should be taken as a good sign that Bob's not following in Bede's footsteps.

The molds and tooling for the Spirit/Falcon belong to Leon Bertrand in
Guelph, Ontario, Canada
