I witnessed the rebuild from paint scrapers and a belt sander to
rigging and blasting up the Sierra Nevada.
Couldn't believe it when Gerhard referred to the design as "a mistake
of my youth".

A slippery high performance glider with no airbrakes that relies on
tailchutes to stop it has to be a mistake by Mr Waibel!

I wondered how difficult it would have been to design and build the
linkage for the flaps to go +60 degrees.
