It will work with any wing up to a Mosquito for thickness. The trailing
edge clamp was welded up for a Mosquito but, when I got my LAK-17a,
which has a much thinner wing, I simply padded the trailing edge clamp
with a folded towel. But it's a simple matter to re-weld the clamp to
the proper angle or to fabricate an adjustable clamp. Seriously, I was
too busy flying to be bothered with modifying it.

What glider are you thinking of using it on?

This is made by a machinist and is a copy of those used in George
Applebay's shop, now Fidel's shop. No gas struts, no batteries, a

screw
jack for raising and lowering the wing, slides forward and aft by

hand.
Fiberglass wing cradle made by Fidel. Large tires for rough ground.
$500 plus shipping in the USA but I prefer it be picked up at

Moriarty.

Hey Dan, do you have some pictures and do you know what wings it

would
work with/designed for?

Dan, does the towel come with it or is that a extra charge? Could you get


Fidel to autograph and date it... All fun aside it is great and well worth
it.
