First aviators. This is not well known at all. There was a sailplane called a Sisu. It was hand built in Tarrant County/ for Worth by a engineer at Carswell Airbase in FtWorth, Only 11 made, only six survived and or Club in Hamilton and friends have 3. It won the World Chap 3 years in a row and did a 1000 km flight. A few years ago a great sailplane pilot flew one and a wealthy guy flying a $ 200,000 sailplane could not stay with him. this weekend in Hamilton at that Club they got 10,000 ft above ground and Lubbock is better. Need a club in west Texas.

Next research the car.... Old Yeller, very famous hand built by a guy in Calif. Only 6 made and 3 around. Still Runs at vintage events in Calif. hubcity
