Hi Mike, thanks for posting the picture of the Lazair airfoil. interesting. i put a (not-very-good) picture of the SuperFloater airfoil(s) in the photos ...
For those not familiar with ancient history.... The "Superfloater" we see now is a resurrection in contemporary materials of the concept of the original...
Bill: I'm just one of several people using the Lazair as a glider. I don't know the name of the airfoil it uses. Also, the airfoil changes as you move out the...
John: Dale Kramer got the inspiration for the Lazair after flying Klaus Hill's SuperFloater equipt with a Gemini power pack for hang gliders. It used the same...

Hi John, recently i subscribed to the Lazair yahoogroup. i don't know what airfoil the Lazair uses. i joined the Lazair group to ask if the Lazair was ...
Mike Sandlin, the Goat looks interesting indeed! Can you tell us, what aerofoil you decided on using and why? I would *really* like to build a Goat-ish machine...

Dear Mr.Sandlin
I am so free to arrange this

Mike, Keep up the good work, I was interested in Irv Pru's new primary glider, but with his death, I think it will be a while before we see any more of it. ...
Greetings to the Airchair Group. As the designer and flyer of the Bug series of airchairs, I want to say how glad I am that this site has been created for our ...
Yes, If the BUG is bought through aircraft supply houses figure somewhere around $2k-$2.5K, which is still less than a new single surface hangglider. If there...
Hi Mike, See, I told you I was losing my mind. Too much rivet pulling this evening, I think. :^) Wow, 130 pounds. That's excellent! I've spent some time this...
Chris: Go to the website and check message # 3(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Airchairgroup/message/3). Without engines it weighs 130 LB. It can easily be...
WOW! My first thought is that you could buy a used Quicksilver with an engine for that much. Also, you have to round the quanties up to even lengths and...
Thanks for the info. I guess I must be losing my mind, but I went back through your message and didn't see the weight listed anywhere... I'm just curious if...
Thanks for the work, Ken! I'm sure quite a bit of money can be saved by purchasing the aluminum from local metal suppliers. As an example, Wicks wants $111 for...
All, For those interested I have uploaded a spreadsheet I've been working on that itemizes the cost of a BUG. These are figures from Aircraft Supply houses...
Mike and Art, I imagine the Lazair makes a wonderful ultralight glider. Hadn't thought of using one for that before. I'm also going to build a trike frame...
Chris: You wrote Austin. Steve Burns of Austin Air Sports is at your back door. Some of the worlds best soaring is done near you (the Lone Star Championship ...
Chris: Well that's using bathroom scales, but it's within a few pounds of that anyway. With the twin engines installed it's 220 LB. If you're not familiar with...
Hi Mike, What does your glider Lazair (Glazair?) weigh? That's a remarkably low sink rate! I'm currently building a Sonex (75% complete) but already have the ...
Hello Ken and Art: I've also been working with the Lazair as a glider. I've flown mine several times and it performs great. It's down now for some design...
