leccyflyer Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I'm looking for clues on the ID of this mystery slope soarer. Fibreglass fuselage, looks like veneered foam wings but could possibly be built up and sheeted. 72" span, all flying tail, big rudder, ailerons operated via a central servo and torque rods. Allegedly a 1970's design and actually not too bad at all weight wise. Any clues as to the identity would be gratefully received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J D 8 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Could be something called a Toledo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leccyflyer Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 Thanks Jd8 - the PMP Toledo looks somewhat similar, but that Mk2 is a fully built up structure apparently and somewhat smaller -63" span vs 72" span. I wonder if the earlier Mk was larger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookman Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Absolutely definitely not a PMP Toledo. The Toledo never had a glass fuselage and was never 72" span. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Gates Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 It looks very much like the glider one of my club mates used to fly when I was a teenager (late 70's) but I don't remember it having ailerons. His name was Ozzie and used to drive an american Mustang. His glider was called a Sperber but I can't find anything on line about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookman Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Ozzie may have had a Model flight accessories Sperber. All wood built up. Under cambered wing section. Rudder and elevator T tail. Mate of mine had one. Nice glider. Again, not what we have here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
