Hi there,

I'm new to the forum and posting for the first time.

I was one of the 'early birds' of the ultralight development. I foot-launched a rogallo powered by a Soarmaster power unit for a couple of years in the late 70's and early 80's -- logging about 150 to 200 hours of foot-launched power airtime before quitting. I still have a 1978 rogallo wing and a 1978 soarmaster power unit stored in a relative's attic on the far side of the country. I am considering restoring this combination to flyable condition.

Restoration will be mostly about the engine and transmission of the power unit. Are there any old Soarmaster pilots out there? Or anyone familiar with the mechanical details of that power unit? I'd love to ask some questions.

Any leads to further information regarding the Soarmaster power unit will be appreciated.
