Friends,
I just acquired a Prism 3M sailplane from a club member who no longer flies sailplanes. He did not have specs, plans or anything else. He has not flown it in years judging by the layer of dust on the tail. I am looking for any help I can get for sources of information.
My searches on this and other forums have not turned up much that is helpful. One internet listing suggested that this might be a competition plane.
The plane is a full house T-tail with plug in wings which appear to be obechi covered. White molded FG fuselage. I did see some references saying that it might have been made by Slegers International, but their web site is gone.
The plane seems to be in pretty good shape. Some repair work will be needed on one wing near the wing rod. I don't have wing rods, so any help on the specs for that would be appreciated as well. I just like to gather as much info on a plane before I start to work on it and set it up.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
