Hey, cool! I heard that Dale Kramer had electrified that Lazair, but hadn't seen a photo before. He was originally hoping to fly it coast-to-coast on the way to OSH, but said motor problems had forced him to postpone the trip. I flew that Lazair at his home near Hammondsport, NY, a few years ago when it had twin two-cycle engines--about 17 or 18 hp each. It was great fun, and I logged about 2 hours of MES PIC time in it. There's a report on it here on SnD somewhere. Dale is the designer of the Lazair.<br /><br />It's also good to know that he has recuperated well from serious injuries resulting from a sailplane crash on a mountain in West Virginia a couple of years ago. He had just broken the world sailplane distance record and near sunset was trying to get all the way back to Elmira, NY, his starting point, when a ridge rose up and smote him. He lay under the wreckage all night with three broken limbs and snow falling. He was able to use a cellphone to tell a friend how to find the crash site in GoogleEarth, and the friend was able to convince the search team to look there. (They thought he was many miles away.)

I remember your post and interest in the Lazair Don. Dale was giving presentations about the new engine installation but I never made it back to the Ultralight field. It's a long trek from the North 40!

Jon, how did he seem to you--robust, or... sort of frail? He sounded pretty good in email about a month ago, but was still in bad shape the last time I saw him at Hammondsport.

I didn't get to talk to him unfortunately.
