Default Ultralight Glider

I was browsing with homebuilt for a keyword, and ran into that
delightful web site that features Goat, Bug, and kindred ultralight
gliders or as he prefers to think of them, flying chairs.

It's not so often you run into free for downloading drawings, in various
standards. Drawn beautifully, and which give a distinct impression of
being pretty much unbreakable in normal use, and offering a way out in
abnormal use (a throw out parachute that lands you tail first, with your
back supported).
The techniques were recognizable as grown-up versions of how early
Rogallos were put together - with crossbolts, sleeves, tangs and
gussets - using alloy tube and steel cables. Good on ya, Sandlin!
(Wish there was a bill of materials - it would be tempting to buy the
materials just for the pleasure of putting one together.)
