Do it after learning about steering, weather, gliding, local aviation rules. I will test-fly the first made glider gladly. If you think i don't trust the BirdGlider, invite me when you finished the BirdGlider, like it is on plans. Build the BirdGlider using the plans at own risk. Rule 1) This is a non-certified, non-tested airplane. That is why i need to place some rules before you get access to the plans. i know that not all persons are so kind like me.

With this knowledge it became very easy for me to decide i would safe this glider for the man of the street by placing it on the internet. I saw the need for a airplane for the man of the street, like they did in 1930's. The Mignet family was my inspiration to begin with the BirdGlider. That way it is sure that the work of the Mignet family would not go to waste. Alain Mignet took the noble decision to place all the plans on the internet. Why not do like Henri Mignet (the person that started the homebuilding movement in 1934)? After the passing of Pierre Mignet (son of Henri Mignet) it was very unsure what would happen to the Mignet designs. Too good to not be available to the man of the street.Īnd then it hit me. I abandoned the idea of making BirdGlider kits. The kit would have been all the metal work and the fabric to cover the wings and tail.ĭuring my visit to that biggest airshow in the world, i saw that i needed to start working on another project. Before i visited Airventure 2015 in Oshkosh, USA, i had the idea to make kits for the BirdGlider.
