| Heinrich Dorfmann | SIG Riser 100 Sailplane | Parked | 24-May-13 15:20 |  | | Views : 1179 | | Two sets of inner and outer wings for the Riser 100. Outer wings now need to be joined with the inner wings, then they will be covered. This sure is a big soarer! |
| Heinrich Dorfmann | SIG Riser 100 Sailplane | Parked | 05-May-13 12:59 |  | | Views : 1083 | | The plane took a rough tree landing, the right outer wing is gone, have to rebuild it. Tail is torn off but will be glued in place. All R/C equipment and electric equipment seems to be o.k. |

| Heinrich Dorfmann | SIG Riser 100 Sailplane | Parked | 05-May-13 12:57 |  | | Views : 915 | | Meanwhile, my electric glider found it's way back home. Very funny story. At 7 a.m. today in the morning, I went out to search a large field of canola (?) for my plane. Searching a model plane with translucent yellow wings in a yellow field is no fun. I found a plane - but it wasn't mine. I returned it to our little hut in the middle of the field. In the afternoon I got a phone call - the very owner of the plane I had found had gone out to search for himself - and had found my plane. |

Although it was not a real sexy model plane, it flew well and had very forgiving characteristics. After a break of more than 20 years, I learnt to fly with it again in 2008. Today, in good soaring conditions, I took my eyes of it only for a moment - and it was gone. Hope it does not hit anyone - our flying side is surrounded by some densely populated areas. Now I have to give the plastics a break and finish the Riser 100. Although I still have the box and the plans for the Return 2000, I will probably not rebuilt it - its hard to get the old equipment it was designed for. |
