Hi F2Racer,
The 70% is about 300Lbs heavyer than the AMA limit. For more details look at http://www.gsal.org/projects/Robt_Sawyer/70Staud.htm

Hello guys, the Staudacher is finished and now loaded in the trailer. We leave in the morning for the NATS. I will fly the Staudacher after the TOC 2002. I plan to have video of the first flight ,if all goes well I will be able to share this with everyone.

Hello guys, I went back and read my last reply and your right !!! it sounds confusing, so yes I was going to the NATS, and I also have been invited to the TOC this year. The reason I say that I was going to the NATS; is yesterday morning we left San Antonio at 4:AM as we drove just past Waco on I-35 we hit a hole in the interstate approximantly 24"dia.x 8" deep, this launched the trailer tires in the air from what looked like 7 to 10 inches,after I finally got stopped and checked inside the trailer the airplane had broken the tie downs and damaged both maingear and tailgear.So we turned around and headed for home. I`m happy to say that there was not to much damage and the repairs are under way.

70% is UNREAL!
That plane is absolutely incredible..... I just got back from the TOC and took lots of pictures. I will post some when I download them from my camera.
The owner says it weighs 425lbs and will fly in about two weeks at an abondoned military strip near San Antonio.
I can't wait to see the flight footage!
