So, anyone brave enough to admit that they were the high bidder on this rare sailplane? As Hank said, not many have landed in a lake AND been struck by lightning!

Wasn't you then.

I bid, but not enough.

If it remains in the USA, you'll own it eventually. :-)

Doubtful, Darryl. It may well find a new fuselage to go with the wings and horizontal tail. I have an RS-15 fuselage that could have made a fun project for those parts. I do hope the high bidder on the plane also bought the trailer. Makes for much easier transport.

No, I didn't bid enough on the trailer, either.

Is there a citation to the story of the lake landing? I must have stepped away from soaring then.
