Another update on the HP-24 Project is posted:http://www.hpaircraft.com/hp-24/


Things that really got my attention in this update: *Flush riveting
the pushrod tubes so they can be removed for MAINTENANCE, building in
inspection ports to facilitate MAINTENANCE? Bob, what are you
thinking?? *Oh, maybe that someone might want a glider they can expect
to keep flying for many years WITHOUT CUTTING HOLES IN IT to keep it
in good shape?


Yup, we cut the holes in the wing so you don't have to! Vans does that
too for their "pre-drilled" kits...


Thanks, Bob K.


Us maintenance guys love ya Bob!!!

Jim


Out of curiosity, what ever happened to the motorglider project?
There hasn't been an update on the web site for several years...
