The registration was for a standard airplane. Done in '75 or
something. Back in those days, some of the kits were built in the
factory and registered as standard. The FAA quit that program so
since Walt's didn't have the airworthiness registration yet, it had to
be reregistered as experimental. According to the DRE (or whatever
you call those guys) the FAA is waiting for a notarized letter and
then it should be a done deal.

I've had it "bought" since mid-December but by the time the paperwork
issue was worked through the holidays came about and you know the Feds
over Christmas. Nothing got done.

I talked to Bob the DRE guy via email a few days ago and am expecting
some good news any time now. I'm eager to get it picked up and
checked out ready for the coming soaring season.

Hi,

Cam is just trying to help the guy sell his glider. Either the owner
thought the deal was not moving along, or Cam was out of the loop and just
trying to help.

Does anyone have any new information on the status of this plane/deal?
I've seen this plane in different forums for quite some time now.

Talked with the buyer this weekend, seems like it's moving ahead.

Frank,

Thanks for mentioning this. I talked with the owner by phone last
week and by email this week and the new airworthiness certificate is
making it's way through the labyrinth at OKC. Who knows how long that
will take? We are in frequent communication. The deal is ON.
I had talked with the owner's wife a few weeks ago and she said she
was going to instruct Cam to take it off the Wings and Wheels site. I
don't know if that has happened or not.
I'm eager to go out and get it and get it back here so I can fly it
this season.

By way of update, the purchase of N888LP, Laister LP-49 was completed
on the 9th of April and I am now trailering it back to Iowa where I
will fly it.

The sale process on this glider was a bit involved and I thought
perhaps I'd post this message to provide some "closure" I think is the
preferred word to describe the resolution of what could have been an
ordeal.

Thanks to all who helped and were interested in it.

When I get some time in the glider, I'll give a rundown of my
impressions.

FWIW, the only thing I know about it so far is that the homemade
trailer pulls like a dream. My 4 cylnder, 5 speed manual Chevy S10
hauled it from Hemet east via I-10, I-17, I-40 and we are now near
Wichita on US 54. I'll be home Saturday night. As all you big rig
drivers know (I have a million miles in them) wind can be as bad as a
grade and I'll say that the Kansas portion against a strong side wind
has been more trouble than any of the mountains. (In the mountains
you just go slow - up and down :)).

Mat- thanks for the lead that got this whole thing going.

By all accounts, both buyer & seller are quite happy now.
LP-49 N888LP is safe at its new home.
Still waiting to hear the initial flight results.
I'm jealous of the official "Laister Sailplane Products" eagle logo
silkscreened on the instrument faces.
The whole glider is just dripping with nostalgia...

BTW- the trailer was factory built, and is by no means "home made".

(Don't forget there is still a very nice Thor Duster in Tehachapi
looking for a new home,
-- because I got an LP-49 of my own.)

Cheers,
Cam

Current owner appears to live in Iowa

[Charlie M. (UH & 002 owner/pilot)]

Obviously you didn't read the thread, as mentioned, the US government finally got done with paperwork and it moved to the Midwest.
Is it still flying, who knows.

Read, understand, THEN post......

[Frank Whiteley[_2_]]

Hi Charlie,

Actually, I'm acquainted with Jim Meade as you may or may not surmise from
earlier posts. He listed and sold the glider a few years ago, so I simply
posted a link to the current owner according to the FAA. The inquiry
poster, Jim, and the current owner are all current SSA members and members
of the same SSA chapter, so there shouldn't be any issues connecting the
dots.

Unfortunately, deleting posts from Google Groups doesn't delete them from
USENET servers.

Hope the old bird's still flying.

That is Jim and the current owner are members of the same chapter, so Robert Sears shouldn't have any issues contacting them if he's still interested.
