If you are really interested in the tooling, I cold probably get them
for you.

But a warning in advance:
A Salto needs a lot of work to build... I was working there when
Frank&Waldenberger started the 2nd series...

Andreas,
How many people were needed to build Salto in what time span?
Was the cost of materials about $10-15 thousand or more?

If I remember correctly, we needed about three people (part-time) to
build one Salto per month.
The main problem with the Salto was that the female molds left a lot
to be desired - especially the wings needed a lot of work to fit them
to the fuselage. Therefore the finishing needed forever.

The cost of materials was in the $15.000 range.

While you're at it Bob, go get the LS-4b tooling.
See ya, Dave "YO electric"

You could name it the PW-5.1 Maybe set up a world class racing scheme
around the glider...
Seriously -- go for it.

I pretty much have its equivalent at this point. If I painted "LS4" on
the side of an unflapped HP-24 ship you couldn't tell it wasn't so
until you got pretty close.

Thanks, Bob K.
