Late Wed. night a fire started in a boat shop that was adjacent to the
shop, (Aero Product) where the fuselage molds for the Silent were. The
Silent fuselage molds are destroyed also ruined are the molds for the
leading edge of the ATOS rigid wing hang glider. The building held
several job shops that made composite parts for several larger
manufacturers, Ali Sport, AMS and Pipistrel among them. Molds
belonging to these firms are all OK.
I heard a rumor that Ali Sport had started on a new fuselage, if so
this will certainly accelerate the process.
Info from a well placed source
Very unfortunate.
Maybe the boat guys should've had one of these.
