still at the Gliding Club I thought about how these unwealdly things are packed away and transported about the countryside. Not knowing a lot about this glider other than it won the world championship in 1965 and I think it is operated by a chap from Poland
Wheel is to aid its immovability on the ground.
Off with the tail.
Pack away by using slings on pulleys to slide then home.
Next the fuselage, note the strap by the wing joints to also guide it in
Little push home.
Lower the tail and that's it, easy yes.
Thanks for looking, Mike
Now we all know that was interesting
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I have seen this contraption traveling along the motorways!
