I just read the Soaring article.
This sport is filled with unbelievable stories.
Firstly, that we can get a 700 lb hunk of fiberglass to fly for 5+ hours with no engine. Secondly, that these gliders can crash and there are people willing and able to repair them to airworthiness.
Glad to see this ship is back in the air.

Among the unbelievable stories, read "A Midair Over Ohio", Soaring 1974, pp34-35.
