He does have a demo Mal, but to fly it at the NSW State Comps you need to
make a $170,000 donation to Chris.
Ohh, and you get the keep the glider.
Nick.

Now if it just had one of those self launch things in the back it would be
perfect...
Just jealous I suppose.

Bruce, I'm really worried about your glider below!!
According to my calculations one wing is longer than the other ;-)
Depending on
whether we are looking at the tail or the nose it's gonna be doing right of
left hand
circles all the time.
Did it pass a CofA ?

That's a really interesting site.
There is a story in "Scientific Intelligence in WW2" by R V Jones about
an HE 111 which was built by the British at Farnborough from bits of
shot down HE111's
When they came to test flying it, it seemed to be almost uncontrollable.
They got a co-operative Luftwaffe P.O.W to have a look. He took one
glance and burst out laughing.
It seems there were 2 versions of this plane, one of which had slightly
longer wings.
You've guessed it, one wing from each version.
