Allan's HP-14 variant is believed to be the first to sport a "T" tail.

(These pictures were taken before heavy snow collapsed his hangar.)

Though I never met Allan in person, he was an active member of the
hp-gliders new group.

I often corresponded with him concerning my HP-14 restoration project.
His encouragement and advice was greatly appreciated.

Respectfully,
Wayne

Vale, Allan. He was also the leader of a movement to repopularize ground
launching, issuing his "Ground Launch Newsletter" ca 1983 and organizing
ground launch seminars at the 1984 Hartford and 1986 Philadelphia SSA
Conventions. Ward Hindman (Colorado SA) and I (Sandhill SC, MI) were
among
presenters at the latter and Allan inspired me to draft an index of ground
launch articles and issue a "rules of thumb" summary published in the
SHApTalk newsletter.
