What a waste! One will wonder whether an annual check flight by a gliding club
instructor could have prevented this spin-in from happening.

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Glider Crash it says in Courier Mail-
click below I met and admired the deceased pilot's Alpin
composite home built retractable engined single seat glider some years ago now
when he was building it. When I asked him about joining our gliding club,
he told me that he was flying it under ultralight rules because he was "not
given any help from GFA in building it." It was recently advertised for
sale in Soaring Australia. We are expecting a factory built version for
one of gliding club members so I hope it was not a structural
failure.
