[Leica] IMG: For Airplane Lovers

LUGGERS,

Last week, I came across an interesting airplane, actually a motorized 
glider, at the local airport.  I looked it up on the net and found that it 
was built in Brazil by a company that supplies parts to a number of 
commercial aircraft builders.  The article also said that those sold in the 
U.S. are ferried over the Andes and open water to the U.S.  

The workmanship was first class.  The powerplant is a Rotax of 90-100 HP.  
It sure looks to be a fun ride!
