It’s not the prettiest trailer. But it’s functional and the juniors still have good backs.

Finally got the Junior Libelle flying. It’s really not that bad of a panel for a 1969 Libelle. Originally owned by Roy McMaster. It will now be passed around to a new junior every summer. Patrick will hit the road tomorrow morning. Thanks to all that donated to get this project going. Tim Taylor is here working on his Ventus and put it a lot of hours to get Patrick going. Mark Mahan did a beautiful job behind the panel and Jenna Cooper did an excellent job building a new panel.

Makes you wonder how the red paint made it into the cracks?

Having a little wrinkle in the carbon fiber is good for me, not so good for the owner.
