Bergstrom Plank

[keepitrunning]

Could someone point me to a picture and information on the Bergstrom plank.
I think it is a single place delta wing sailplane. I spotted an aircraft at
Jean airport near Las Vegas that has that appearance but it had a Volkswagen
engine. There was no N number or data plate that I could find. Anyone
interested can email me directly and I will share a picture.

Thanks
Gary

I don't know anything about a Bergstrom plank, but the Backstrom flying
plank is an unswept, constant chord flying wing sailplane. It's not a delta
wing.

You might want to take a look at:

It says there that a self-launched version was developed.
