According to what I remember and see from the 1974 sailplane
directory,
only the prototype had the magnesium wing skins. The others got more
ribs and aluminum skins. There is a picture of it in the Spetember
1965 isue of SOARING. Paul was teh one and only owner of the ship.

A few years back the prototype was available for sale. It was
stripped
and ready to be re-painted. According to landings.com, it is still
in
Midland, Texas. I got to thinking about this plane again when
talking
about US gliders that have been to World Championships. The
prototype
Prue Standard, and the Sisu you all got to see at Ontario, were two
of
the three to go to Argentina in 1963.

Rudy, is ther any chance you could send me copies of the pictures?
It
is half a continent away, but I might be interested. I watched as
the
tooling for the Super and a bunch of parts were donated to a ministry
and sold. Might be able to track back through my records and get
replacement parts. I hate to see old ships like that go away. Saw
remains of the Jenny Mae on eBay late last year. I bet not many of
the
"Under 50" crowd know anything about that one!

One of the "Under 50" crown that does!

Hello folks,
I am the one who purchased the tooling and parts from the ministry.
The 2005 model Super Standard is about 90% complete and I would be
interested in seeing the pictures and maybe purchasing the salvage.
Thanks
