P.S. Here's my generic summary of the Perlan II Project relating to the sailplane
and how it's arrived at its present state, for readers perhaps not so familiar
with the story...

Perlan II was started and almost completed under Steve Fossett's financial
sponsorship.

The Perlan II was an incomplete design and just molds at the time of Fossett's
death. Not even a fuselage had been built.
