Default Prue 215 with Baby Mamba

Phil,

Thank you for the picture. It must have been taken in California. Look at
that earth quake fault line on the mountain in the background!

When I purchased my first Schreder designed sailplane about 10 years ago, it
was hard to find any detailed information. The site was started about a
year before Dick's death. The foundation was taken from a folder of
documents provided by Dick's wife Angie. Through the contributions of Angie
and other owners http://www.soaridaho.com/Schreder has grown to a little
over 100 meg of data. The Schreder sailplane community is also served by
the hp-gliders Yahoo news group.
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hp-gliders/)

The possibilities of the new small jets has not been lost by Schreder
sailplane owners. Personally, I would like a retractable system that would
provide enough power to self-launch from a 6,000 MSL (Mackay, Idaho)
airfield on 90 degree day (early August.) It may be some time before such a
dream is feasible. (http://www.soaridaho.com/photogallery/Mackay_2006/)

Hy Wayne,

I thank you, but this link goe directly to my web site.
I knew your Web site. It is very interesting, because very complete and
detailed. Congratulations.
For the Prue 205, I don't know if its engine allowed "self-launching".

I attach a photo of our own 1951 (self-launch) Fouga sylphe.

Phil,

Here is a link; however, the pictures are small.

Maybe something like that would convert my HP-14 to a "self-launch"
sailplane.
