Re: Dave Hughes Soarcerer
Other than Dave Hardakers Quicksilver, the Soarcerer was my next favourite slope soarer.

Yeh, I've heard of him.
He lives with the Wildlings and White Walkers beyond the Great Ice Wall in Caledonia.

Re: Dave Hughes Soarcerer
That was a terrible plug for your brilliant ribs and part kits Neil....
PM him or have a look at his shop on eBay http://stores.ebay.co.uk/iGull-Laser?_t ... 7675.l2563
There you go a proper plug.

Re: Dave Hughes Soarcerer
Not exactly a Soarcerer or a copy but certainly inspired by Dave Hughes' design, I built it in 1970, the year after Soarcerer was published, mine had ailerons before the original. I flew it at the Isle of Man glider week meetings from 1973 to '76. It went much better when I increased the aileron chord a few weeks after the photo was taken.
