Do you have any further information about this wind indicator? *I'm
interested in pictures taken from the ground so I could see details of
construction. *Thanks.


The wings nubbed off and capped at about 3m or so. I once opened up
it's 'canopy' (an aluminum replacement of orig acrylic, mounted to
original frame) to have a looksie and the seatpan was full of concrete
for ballast and possibly damping. I believe it is mounted to a car
wheel/hub welded/bolted horizontally into the landing gear area which
allows it to swivel on it's 3-4' post, firmly planted in concrete.
This particular glider was a one-off homebuilt of dubious design/
construction which was not going to be allowed to fly, hence it's
relegation to being a fancy tetrahedron. It is nicknamed 'The Turkey'
I believe... sorry, no pics.
