FS: LS-1F ONLY $10,800 to a Newbie or Junior Pilot
WOW!
Amazing deal. As someone who flys a glider with gelcoat that is basically completely failed with cracking and crazing; do not be afraid! I still get 35+:1 and don't have to worry about the finish getting any worse, it can't! "Tim Mara, former owner of Wings and Wheels, bailed out of the sailplane" Do tell though, how does a glider survive a landing without a pilot? That's quite a story that needs to be told...

There are several examples of gliders that have returned after landing on their own. The LS1'S story was well documented by Tim in a Soaring article. The latest example is the ASG29 that was damaged in the mid-air with the Hawker returned to flight this year.

When the pilot departs, the CG shifts waaaaaaaay aft and most ships will go into a series of stall, then fall's........then do it again. I rebuilt an LS-3a that experienced an "unassisted landing" , right wing tip hit and then the right wing broke, absorbing most of the energy. The rest of the ship wasn't too bad.

I just read the Soaring article.
This sport is filled with unbelievable stories. Firstly, that we can get a 700 lb hunk of fiberglass to fly for 5+ hours with no engine. Secondly, that these gliders can crash and there are people willing and able to repair them to airworthiness. Glad to see this ship is back in the air.

Among the unbelievable stories, read "A Midair Over Ohio", Soaring 1974, pp34-35.

I saw the it laid out in jumbled pieces next to Rick Anderson's shop in Lake County and thought for sure it was sim fodder at best. Wizards I tell you.
