Hello guys.
First of all, sorry for my poor English. I=B4m postng here because I
feel this place open minded enough to handle these kind of questions.
I notice some of you knows well or even owns Woodstocks. Yes, Maupin=92s
home made super cool wooden glider. You know, I=B4m going to start
building one. Found this guy selling a never used original set of
plans. I have the tools, the space, time and skills for doing it. Why
not? Used to fly wooden birds for all my glider pilot time=85
Problem is I=92m living in a place with no glider clubs or tow planes
( nearest tow plane: 1000 km ) and Woodies and winches doesn=92t mix.
But we have some ultralights and trikes around here. Do you think a
trike with a Rotax 912 will do the job? Will I have to build a tow
plane too?
Please, don=92t try to make me deviate from my plans and buy some used
motorglider. Such things are really expensive around here.
All the best
Ricardo

On 8 December 1994 the definitive prototype of Silent light sailplane made
its maiden flight from the small grass strip of Galliano in the
northeastern Italian province of Friuli. The glider, flown by test pilot
Walter Mauri and towed by a 50hp trike, was airborne in 200m and, after
climbing to 600m, successfully flew for 16 minutes.
