Re: [ULF-1] News from Dieter
Hi doug did you recieved the new pictures? Member 12 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Member 1" <[email]> To: <[email]> Sent: Sunday, December 23, 2007 5:41 PM Subject: [ULF-1] News from Dieter First, let me apologize to new list member Frank Bennis, who apparently subscribed during the time my email address was having problems, so I was unaware of his joining. Yes Frank, you are subscribed and should be receiving all the posts to the list (although it has been a very quiet group). Welcome, Frank. I received a message from Dieter, who says, "Right now, I am busy to get a VNE of 90 km/h authorized, so that ULF-1 can be air towed by faster aircraft. The test flights were done this summer." He also wrote, "I expect, or should I say "hope", that those, who are really willing to build should organize a "work sharing" on the basis of their individual skills, I am prepared to give technical assistence at any time." In addition, Dieter mailed a couple of disks to me. One had a number of lovely photos of a ULF-1 flying at "Dolmar" near the "Wasserkuppe." I have posted the best ones to the web site, you can find them here: http://www.ulf-1.com/dolmar If there are one or two of these photos that list members would like to have as wallpaper for their computer screen, please reply to the list with your preference and your screen resolution, and I will post appropriately-sized images to the site. The other disk Dieter sent is a DVD with some fun and inspiring videos of ULF-1s being foot-launched and towed by a horse, a hovercraft, and a snowmobile! A ULF-1 in Sweden features a small, pylon-mounted engine over the wing. If it has enough power to get the glider above ground effect, it is not evident from the videos. Unfortunately, I have no way to share these videos. I feel much more inclined to start a ULF-1 project, and hope the new photos will help to inspire others.
