Schreder Motorglider

[Twilite]

Does anyone have any information on motorglider conversions for any of
the Schreder aircraft. I've heard of an HP-11 and HP-14 in Canada but I
can't get any information. - Pat

There was an article in "Free Flight" published back in 1975 describing an
HP-14 conversion.
(http://www.soaridaho.com/Schreder/HP-14/Canadian_HP-14M.html) It is my
understanding that a HP-16 had a similar conversion.

A converted RS-15 crashed near Richland, Washington a few years ago. The
system did not provide adequate power and had been removed prior to the
accident.

About three years ago there was a person in South America offering a HP-14
conversion kit. I sorry that I currently do not have contact information.

My first exposure to gliders occured around 1977. A friend's father was
building a motorglider in his garage in Colorado Springs. Given the V
tail and shape of the nose I suspect it was based on the HP-14 or
similar design.
Their last name was Smith, and he (the father that is) was in the Air Force.
