Peter,
Several Flying Planks were constructed in Australia c1958.
One was hanging on the wall of the Gliding Club of Victoria's hangar at Benalla for a lot of years, not sure where this one is now.
The design was promoted by Fred Hoinville around that time.
Incidentally I actually saw one launched by auto tow or winch at Benalla during May 1958. My memory of this launch was that it looked pretty wobbly.

I am researching the history of the Flying Plank in Australia. Does anyone have any recollections of Planks flying or being built? What about Planks in thge USA or other countries. Would anyone have a set of plans, construction drawings or construction notes?
Yours Peter Champness
