Dick Reiser (late of New Mexico?) owned one which he sent to Chile

Santiago, Bernald Smith and I powered all the way over Mt Anconcaqua,
14,494', at which point it was out of fuel. On the glide back to
the airport we flew with some Andean condors.

IIRC Dick Reiser had two of these babies, one down in Oz.
That was some years back though.
Neighbors used to complain a lot when he fired up !

I only flew one once (unpowered version) some decades back...

See ya, Dave "YO electric"

PS: JS, you know if that one is still in Oz ?
