Hi John,

what happened?

Andreas

If memory serves me (big assumption at 74) this intrepid aviator waxed
his ship and then changed the safety tape....................it lifted
but didn't come off and caused such a flow change over the elevator
that he (intrepid aviator) didn't feel he had adequate control to try
and land the bird (Ventus B). Soooooooo, he tidied up the cockpit and
stepped smartley over the side!

Hi JJ

Is it true that the ship later floated back, falling leaf style, by
itself to earth with some significant damage but was later repaired?
