My first sailplane was a Craft-Air SD-100. Built it in the spring of 1978
and learned to fly with the great group of guys in L.O.F.T. out of Ft.
Wayne, In. Would like to find another just for old time sake.

Before Meyer and Hauch do a transformer thing on the other thread, I know
this topic will take off because it hasn't been brought up in some time.
Good one for a long weekend...
My first Sailplane was a FF Jasco Thermic 50 that I wedged a Kraft brick
into and crashed many times, it was frustrating as heck. Covered with
tissue and dope. My first Sailplane that really flew was a WindDrifter,
and I have one now that is the second one I built that looks like my first,
and is over 20 years old.
