IIRC, once Paul got over the initial shock, he realized that the damage wasn't as bad as he first thought. It probably wasn't totaled, but I don't know whether he's yet had it restored.


Paul's Sisu is still damaged and in its trailer at Avenal. I think there may even be extra wings in the trailer. I recall looking in there at one point trying to identify what was in the trailer and it was stuffed to the gills.

Paul has stepped away from soaring for quite some time now.

In the January 1967 National Geographic there is a feature "Sailors of the
Sky", with a nice picture of Dale May in N331A soaring over Chicago
lakeside.

Anyone interested in a SISU 1A project or parts? I have access to the structural test specimen fuselage (from the certification effort), tail feathers from a crashed SISU and new everything else from Leonard Niemi himself to include: canopy, skins, stringers and push rods for the wings (the wings haven't been put together yet). Call or text 410-294-2910 Arnie
