Sky Bench Legionair 132 kit

[skybenchone]

Thanks to Robin Sleight for three great photos of his Legionair 132 and his
builder's notes that should be very helpful to other builders. Robin built
and flew the Legionairs back in the 1970's.


This link will take you to the Sky Bench RES - Nostalgia - Sport Sailplane
catalog page, scroll down to the Legionairs.

May I add a picture of my Legionair 140 kit, which impatiently waits for a Houston Hawk to get off the building board? :cool: :D

As of Robing Sleight's building notes, I already found a good tip (place boom from inside the pod).

Thanks Ray!

Alex,

The Legionair kit will go together very quickly. Thanks for the neat kit photo, hope you send a photo of yours when completed for my website.

Ray,

I expect to start a Legionar140 build thread when the kit hits the building table. I'll sure have a couple of questions and I know there are some experienced Legionair builders around to give some advice.

I intend to finish it like my 2M LilBird (which I gave to a friend a couple of years ago, but expect to build another one anytime soon ;) ).

Alex,

I have to build a new 2M Lil'Bird too. Mine is about seven years old, has a ton of flight time including hand launching. Look forward to your Legionair 140 build thread.
