Bob,
I saw that project too, and it made me wonder why reinvent the wheel?
Is there some real advantage for the glidair vs the Carat?

Chris

I started the Glidair project in 1987. Made a set of polyster molds,
pulled a cockpit area mock up fuselage shell and displayed it at the
Museum of Flight Glider Expo in Seattle years ago.

Then made a master tool fuselage plug that sat in various locations for
years until I started getting serious about it again, thanks to Bob and
my involvement in the HP-24 project.

So............the Glidair preceeded the Carat by many years, but
history is written by the winners and those with the money to
capitalize such projects.

The idea was to create a modern day ASK-14, the Carat is no such
animal, the Glidair will be.

Cheers,
Brad
