1. Aircraft supply catalogues were the primary source for hardware, cable,composite materials, fabric covering materials, and much of the aluminum stock (Aircraft Spruce, Wicks, etc.).
2. Sailboat supplies and hardware (shackles, deadeyes, pulleys, braided line, boat seats, elastic shock cord), come from marine supply stores or catalogues.
3.Building supply stores provided the wheel, spackle, and Velcro.
4. The seat belts are from an offroad automotive supplier.
5. Hobby store materials included epoxy resin, and balsa wood.
6. Sewn webbing loops are rock climbing equipment from a camping supplier.
7. Aluminum not available from the aircraft catalogue come from a metals supply house (Tubesales, Industrial Metals Supply, etc.).
8. Hang Glider parachutes and instruments are from retail dealers, see Hang Gliding Magazine or USHGA Website.
1. I usually begin glider construction with the rudder, to reteach myself how to do things on a small part that can be reworked if necessary.
2. I often mark tubes with a lengthwise reference line, a light scrape mark made down the top of the tube by a steel ruler held horizontal.
3.Stock cutting is by hacksaw. To cut the end of a tube square, I use a tape measure to make multiple circumferential pencil marks at the correct length,then I connect the dots by cutting with the hacksaw. Tube and fitting ends are smoothed with a file.
4. Holes are drilled with a hand held power drill using a self centering drill bit.
5. Cable lengths are established in place using temporary cable locks, then the cables are removed and the final swaging of the Nicopress oval cable sleeves is done on a bolt-down swaging tool held in a vice.
6. Bolts are cut with a hacksaw, and threads are added using a threading die.
7. Tubes are ovalized in a padded vice.
8.Tubes were bent or straightened in a padded vice, by hand, stomach, knee,or tree. The large skid tube was bent over a truck tire while one end was wedged into the frame. I have used the trick of filling the tube with sand for keeping the tube round while bending.
9. Styrofoam is cut with a hacksaw blade after being marked out with a pen and ruler. Panel ribs are sanded smooth, then (on the fabric contact sides) filled with microslurry to provide a smooth surface for applying the fiberglass tape.
10. The fabric covering process is nominally the Polyfiber process (they provide instructions) but without using the ultraviolet radiation barrier (Polyspray) or cosmetic overcoat. For color I used a half dozen cans of spray paint.
