Sorry to hear about the accident. Was it a problem with the design or
another form of accident? As a newly interested glider enthusiast, I'd
want to have a safe 2 seat design since I would be getting my rating in
it and my daughter would probably learn to fly in it also...Thanks for
any further information.

Scott,

They are indeed homebuilts. Information can be found on the "Schreder
Sailplane Designs" site (http://www.soaridaho.com/Schreder). Or go directly
to http://www.soaridaho.com/Schreder/RHJ/RHJ_Links.html

Very few RHJs were built and I am sad to report that Don Matheson had a
fatal accident in C-FAJT (http://www.soaridaho.com/Schreder/RHJ/C-FAJT.html)
while flying in the mountains of British Columbia.

I'm very new to sailplanes and am interested in the RHJ-8. If I am to
even think of owning a glider, it must have 2 seats. It looks like the
RHJ-8 would be a pretty good fit. I assume that these are homebuilt
(experimental) and if so, can plans be found somewhere? Any websites
devoted to these ships?
