Default What are you building ?

I was intrigued by how to build a 'bent-wing' so I started on a
replica of the Zanonia. Got the D tube covered and ribs hung when more
practical endeavors prevailed. May finish it up some day, but for now
its hanging in the rafters!

Just about ready to test fly a SZD 50-3 Puchacz, which came into my
possession after a 'practice' roap break at Minden a few years back.
The student thought they should turn left and return to 12 (whence
they came) but the instructor thought it was neat to bend it right and
land on 16. Big studnent (guy) ; little instructor (gal) = neither won
and they settled not so gracefully into the sage brush north of 12 and
16!
Anybody need a good low time, 2-place ship?
JJ
