Just trying to find out what other owners are doing with their hangar queens. I know of one where the owners took it apart, separating the aluminum from the steel for sale to metal recyclers. From what I heard, the time and effort involved put their hourly income at about half of the min. wage level. Not many museums want one and tad big for a wind vane. realistic ideas? The cockpits would make awesome Condor simulator platforms to promote soaring with the under 24 crowd. once converted, they could be sold to soaring sites for training too. I am a mechanical engineer, so I might be talked into donating some time to this type of project. I live in Menlo Park, CA. I bet most real controls could be hooked up to a gutted joystick... Anyone else interested? Matt |

Probably the most realistic idea I've heard yet is retrofitting L23 wings to L13s and seeking an STC for the combination. That's probably a lot more cost-effective, though a lot less fun, than developing new composite wings for L23. Thanks, Bob K. Hi, where are you. We need Blanik fuselages for simulators. We are building one now, and we are good at it. Norway. |
