Has any one built / flown a Sealy Ultima? I suspect it is from the 1980's.

Thanks, Jeff

Jeff I built a cavalier from sealy, about 1995, it blew the wings off on first launch.
I would wrap the spar in thread, and ca. my brass wingrod tube pulled out vertically.
reapaired, and flew 20-30 flt, before a launch crash totaled it. lee

Thanks Lee. I've had this sitting in my closet for a number of years and think I might finally build it. I'm not expecting it to be able to handle full pedal launches. I think it is just a step up from a floater anyway.

capt soap, what said about it. The whole spar and jointer have to be designed.
