Some parts of the ulf1 are just like building a model. But tere are quite a
view things, like the forward and rear wing mounting, The spars, the metal
levers and linkages, that require not only a lot of space, but also
machinery not found in everyones model plane shop.  

Luckily I bought a ULF1 project, with most of the difficult parts, such as D
box , wing mounting, and so on, already finished. 

Othewise I would have had problems.  

Best regards,
Johannes

Hey all.  I have been looking at some light gliders and came across the ULF.
I was looking at one called the Goat but the useful load was way too low for
me.  It looked somewhat easy to build but I weigh anywhere between 250 and
280 depending on my eating and exercise.  I noticed the useful load was 220
which is still too low but perhaps with a bit of redesign in the wing by
extending it to 38/40 feet.  Might require some beefing up of the spar.

It looks like the model planes I have built and I have fair woodworking
skills.
