Well <sniff>, my little Salto is gone. The reason for selling it in the
first place is that I acquired all the remaining Fiberglasflugel stock,
including similar sized (2.7 meter) all-molded Saltos this summer.
No point having duplication, at least in the same size, SO, I would be
willing to part with this brand new Fiberglasflugel Salto for $399.00
($565.00 when they were being produced).
The Fiberglasflugel line of sailplanes have not been manufactured for a
few years now. Bummer really, I had a 6.25 meter ASW-22 which flew
beautifully. This is an all-molded aircraft. The main wings are stout,
and will handle all the airborne abuse you can dish out. I used to do
loops with the ASW and at 34-to-1, the wingtips would flex upwards 3-4
feet.
Anyways, this FF Salto has absolutely everything except a clear canopy.
I produced a primered fiberglass version using an original as a mold
(the single canopy I did get went with another kit to one of our club
members). The new canopy has been trimmed and fits perfectly. The
condition of this kit is still perfect. One of my first concerns after
being stored, was the actual condition and integrity of the parts
themselves. Everything was like-new, and had been stored in a large
heated garage! The gelcoat is as white as the day it was sprayed into
the molds. I have had custom OEM "H-101 Salto" emblems for this
aircraft, they are included. Pics are available.
