The Cherokee II was introduced in 1956 specifically for amateur construction from plans. The entire airframe is covered in fabric. Upper surface spoilers control the glidepath, and the landing gear is fixed. Many examples vary in detail. The design was further developed by several builders including the Cherokee RM by Terry Miller and John Ree…
The C-70 which first flew in 1971, is a 15-meter racing class ship of molded fiberglass construction. The fuselage incorporates a tubular- steel framework that ties together the landing gear, wing fittings and a protective cage around the pilot. Differing in a number of respects from the prototype, the production version emerged with a Wortmann…
Designed for the typical sport pilot rather than the competition pilot or record seeker, the Club Libelle is an outgrowth of the Standard Libelle design. Double-taper wings raised to the shoulder position provide greater clearance on landouts. The wings carry broad-span trailing edge flaps for approach control. The landing gear is fixed and a T-tail…
The original all-fiberglass Open Class Cirrus made its debut in 1967 and won the World Open Class Chapionship at Leszno in Poland in 1968. The prototype had a V-tail, but production versions had a conventional horizontal tail the with horizontal stabilizer set part way up the fin. In addition to top-and-bottom spoilers, the Cirrus has…

The Chiricahua was designed to comply with the Standard Class rules existing at the time construcion started, 1959, the first flew in 1970. It has a fixed main wheel and top surface Schempp-Hirth type airbrakes for approach control.
The Chinook S, which first flew in 1996, is an improved version of the original Chinook of 1993. Approach control is by full deflection trailing edge flaps. Both the flaps and main wheel are hydraulically actuated. The sailplane has been used to study the effect of rain on airfoils, and dynamics at the stall.
The Baby Albatross, which flew in 1937, was a production design for both kits and complete sailplanes. Bowlus produced kits until the oubreak of World War II in 1942, and in 1944 Laister-Kauffmann bought the rights but produced no aircraft before going out of business. The wing is reminiscent of the German Grunau Baby design,…
The Pilatus B-4 originated and was produced in large numbers in Switzerland, first flying in 1972, and was subsequently licensed and manufactured in Japan by Nippi. It is an all- metal design to Standard Class specifications with some foam ribs in the tail assembly. It has full aerobatic capability including inverted maneuvers. Top surface air…
