Hi, all. I have worked since 1973 for Schweizer aircraft, and have always been involved in flight. I must say that the single wheel is a safer and lighter...
Last week I've found the BUG website...... That's I needed ! I'm a fan of the elementary gliders and in my projects are the construction of a wooden classic...
... That is a valid point. The best thing to do is to stick to Mike Sandlin's original plans. The second best is to keep in mind that a deviation to the plans...

I am trying to find out if the Lazair is a good glider and all the tech stuff: Where do you tow from? How do you get the weight and balance right? Weight...
Hello, I was suprised to see a link from the bug homepage to a group. I have been building a ...... thing for a little while now. It is supposed to be a slope...
Interesting! Just my two cents: With that airfoil you are going to either need a lot of reflex in your control surfaces, or a tail. It won't be stable in pitch...
From: "Tucker, F." Hi Scott, My flying experience is only with unpowered craft. I started hang gliding in 1977, and I immediately became interested in high...
