Briegleb BG-12B?

I bought a hangar a while back that has a wood glider project. Fuselage, stab and fin seem pretty much assembled. One wing is a skeleton and there is an assortment of pieces. I have NO PAPERWORK OF ANY KIND except for one badly faded construction drawing on which I was able to make out a model number but there is no way for me to know for sure that drawing goes to this aircraft. Would there be any interest in a project of this kind?

A complete BG-12 with open trailer just sold for $25.00 on Barnstormers.............doubt you will find anyone interested in a partial old wooden death trap?

There are several BG12 flying here in .au, nobody has died yet. A simple strong wooden aircraft.

Investigate and draw your own conclusions.

Most read like pilot/builder error. Over speed, Over g and poor construction on a push rod seemed to be the primary fatals. EAB powered aircraft suffer from similar issues so it doesn't surprise me to see homebuilt gliders with similar reports. I knew a guy who bought it in a Titan Tornado. It didn't make the aircraft a bad design or him a bad pilot. Just a bad decision on that day.

"Investigate and draw your own conclusions."

Looks pretty conclusive... pilot error by pilots with little or no time in make and model. The very first one is a guy show boating during his first flight in the thing. Then there is a flap overspeed with witnesses saying he was high and very fast. A classic stall/spin and what appeared to be a controlled flight into terrain. There was a poorly constructed pushrod.

Hang it on the wall as art. Or find someone with a bar that needs cool things hanging from the ceiling. I don't think you will find anyone with the interest and energy to put one of these together for flying.
