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:
http://www.sailplanedirectory.com/Pl...fm?PlaneID=104

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