Woodstock project for sale. Consists of 99% of the metal parts, complete and ready for construction, and most of the AN hardware needed to complete the glider. Party who purchases parts and materials will also receive a complete set of Woodstock plans, construction manual, 13 meter plans, Brooks' construction manual, and Brooks' jig plans. About $1,200 and over 100 hours of shop time invested. Asking $500. I am not interested in selling just the plans. Serious inquiries only please.

Where is it located?
Does it have a trailor, if so, what kind?

The project consists only of the metal parts that are constructed as part of building the glider and associated AN hardware.

Les, I hope you're doing well. I followed your project blog (and a couple other Woodstock blogs) while they were available.

When Soaring Magazine published the Woodstock poster I had it on my wall for years. I wanted one of those little birds so bad, if my father had let me drag a bandsaw up to our little second-story apartment I probably would have covered the living room in sawdust.

I still have in mind to retool the Woodstock design with a carbon fiber spar, and maybe some other concessions to the declining availability of good quality wood. Maybe someday when I have some free time.

Bob,

Good to hear from you again. I am well, but not flying much anymore. I hate to sell the my Woodstock items, but I guess it is time. What you describe, what I would call a Woodstock refit project, would be lots of fun. I have always felt there should be many more of these little birds flying.

I hope you are doing well.

Les

For anybody who buys this project, if you finish the wing spars I will
give you for free all the BC4W9 bellcrank bearings and RE3M6-2N rod ends
you need to finish the project.

In the early 1950s, Dick Scrhreder and Irv Culver and those guys bought a
lot of those litte parts as surplus for pennies on the dollar, and they
used a lot of them in their designs. But they've since become a bit
pricey.

Thanks, Bob K.
