Hi folks, I hope this question isn't terribly redundant, but I am having a
heck of a time locating any sailplane plans. In the '70s they were everywhere, but now that I have both the inclination and the facilities and the resources, the only plans I find a 1) a 1929 Primary Glider (http://webmail.talon.net/~bigpine/Pr...ider_Plans.htm) 2) the TST-3 Alpin T (http://www.homebuilt.org/kits/bohemican/tst-3.html) 3) various open-cockpit and ultralight varieties. I would like to build a classic sailplane. Wood construction would be fine as I've been a woodworker for years. Since it has been so many years since I last had this bug, I rather expected that technology would have made building the slickest little fiberplastipolycarbon glider something that one could do in one's dining room between meals. Alas, I have spent too many hours online to have found so little. Am I looking in the wrong places? I have joined EAA (but can't sign on yet) and have attempted to pay Kitplanes to allow me to view thier list, but the website seems to be broken. Sigh. Is my only option now to start scrounging for older, unpublished plans? I am not opposed to that, but I was hoping to build with a company in the background perhaps for particularly difficult parts and/or technical support during the process. Any help appreciated. Curt |
