So Al.....
You are going to make Saltos in your basement just like Mrs. Hanle?
Going to hire unemployed aeronautical engineers to do the layups in
your basement?
Use the hot tub for a curing oven?
Certify your all carbon Saltos for +/- 10G?
All for $30,000?
Control system and canopy are extra?

Sign me up.

Well imagine the following scenario....

We create a Co-Op for the production of the plane.
In order to buy one you become a member of the Co-Op.
The Co-Op only charges for costs not profit.
If you can contribute work to the Co-Op then you get a discount
against the labour rate etc.etc.
The Co-Op will hire X number of people to do the production on a full
time basis.

So in order to get started we would need to raise some capital to buy
the tooling, setup a production area and sell initial seed units to
first set of Co-Op members.

Also thinking give the wing section a refresh to something more modern
and start to add carbon into the build as well.

We could call it the Volksglider

Just a crazy pipe dream right now but as the worlds supply of
reasonable priced planes dries up this could become a viable option.

How many would you like to order Guy?

Cheers

Gentlemen, place your bets..............what will fly first, Al's
carbon Salto or my HP-24?

What were the performance specs of the Salto? I thought a sub 15m
under 40:1 ship was not what pilots wanted.
