Glider questions

[kmead]

I have a Mirage customer that wants to buy a Caproni CACIF A21J. It has a jet engine too. Does anyone know anything about them? Are they a mess?

I understand that there is one here in Hutchinson. Would any of you local glider guys know who it is so I could find an owner for him to talk to.

Regards, Kevin

Kevin,

I do not know if there is a Caproni in Hutch, but I will email around and see what I can find out. The A21's with Jet engines have always fascinated me too! I don't know a thing about them except that the concept just seems cool.

Kevin,

I got some info about the Caproni that is in the area. It doesn't sound like it's in very good shape. I'll PM you the details.

They are about the loudest things known to man.

that just seems like exactly the wrong way to go with a glider. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
