Like about 300 US Blanik L-13 sailplane owners, I have a ship that will


probably never fly again. Just trying to find out what other owners are


doing with their hangar queens. I know of one where the owners took it


apart, separating the aluminum from the steel for sale to metal


recyclers. From what I heard, the time and effort involved put their


hourly income at about half of the min. wage level.




Not many museums want one and tad big for a wind vane. realistic ideas?




I'm thinking of shortening the fuselage and making it into my very own casket.




So why hasn't the EASA mod not been approved by the FAA??? I thought with

all that EASA crap in the old country this stuff once approved by one body

would be accepted by the other???

The FAA requested more info and it hasn't been provided.
