He bought a Grob G109 and had a ball, loved it, and was extremely happy. It was not an 'FAA medical', but his attorney advised him that it 'could' give him some protection for his self-certification that he was safe to pilot a glider, mostly for insurance and estate protection purposes. Once he completed treatment and had an appropriate plan to manage his remaining medical conditions, he got a note from his physician indicating that he was safe to drive a car and pilot a plane.

My father lost his medical but had a medical condition which was treatable. Other alternatives out there to consider. I would appreciate any input I may have to end up with the Xenos and widen the fuselage on my own, but I hope that there are some I've looked at the Grob's, but the 3000 hour inspection looks like a deal killer. Perhaps someone may have more information on these aircraft.Would not mind building a wooden airplane.
Homebuilt hang glider plans how to#
So - are there any plans available for a motor glider with, maybe a 4130 tube fuselage and aluminum wing - or even a fabric covered wing?Īre there any resources for figuring out how to design a 50+ foot wing flutter issues scare me to death.įrom what little I have been able to find in the past few days - there are not plans available for aircraft like the Fournier RF-5. I wouldn't mind building one, but I want one with a little more cockpit room than the Xenos.

I am going to have to sell my Cessna 172 and am researching what is available in the Not sure if this is the right place to post this - but have recently lost my medical and honestly can't afford a carbon-fiber 100K+ motorglider.īet there are others like me in this situation.
