What would it take to convert a primary into a basic soaring machine
(35+ to 1)?. I know sitting in open would be a high drag problem
but.......maybe a very light none structual wood frame cloth covered
to stream line fuselage?

Could a machine be made very cheap and quick this way to permit
soaring local around the air patch?

Also designed to pull (or fold) the wings in a few minutes (Solo) and
load to haul home for storage (and work/repair) in the garage?


Big John,

35 to 1 and open cockpit don't coexist. Light weigh does not improve glider
ratio. In order to get anything near 35 to 1 in a homebuilt you must build
something like my Schreder HP-14.
