Dear Sirs

As a newcomer among you, I project to build a ULF-1 within the next 
three years. The actual putting together of the bits and pieces should 
start by November 2008.

At first, I considered building a « Carbon Dragon », but I realized it 
would be beyond my reach as a first plane to build. Moreover, I'm not 
one for top performances at all cost, and will be content with flying , 
be it on board a more sedate type of aircraft, and furrowing the sky, 
borne on good-willed ascendencies.

I already have some experience of gliding ( with an ASK 13, the look of 
which is rather akin to that of the ULF-1, and I prefer it to more 
modern types.

I'm a greenhorn as far as plane-building is concerned, having so far 
limited myself to building small boats, therefore, I feel both excited 
and a little worried about the venture.

Thanks a lot to Member 12 for his photos  which gave me a good insight 
into how things should be done at that level.

I will probably ask for the help of those among you ( numerous I think) 
who have gathered knowledge about building that glider.

I look forward to the pleasure of hearing from you
