Marian designed his "Egret" and built every part from scratch. He
likes to say - "$10,000 and 10,000 hours".... It is as beautiful up
close as it is in the photos and h flies it masterfully.

I can believe the 10,000 hours part for sure. Did he build it with
negative molds? What is it made of.......fiberglass or carbon,
or........

The span seems greater than 15m, is it?

well, I would very much like to get in touch with Mr Nowak to talk
about sailplane design and building, this is a remarkable achievement,
similar to our HP/Tetra-15 project. I am in awe...............

...and, if I may add to my previous post concerning personal epic flights...

It is inspiring to see the epic accomplishments and achievements of others.

Thank you to all who post their recorded flights on OLC for others to view, learn from, and dream about. And a thank you to those who share your stories and pictures of design, development, and construction of beautiful soaring machines.
