Been mentioned a few times before here, but nothing really substantial: Does anybody know anything useful about the Sadler Vampire? I mean the original US ultralight version, not the later Oz 2-seater. I have an opportunity to buy one (a restoration project) for probably a ridiculously low price, but I know very little about them, except that I've always been fascinated by the design.

I do know that there were only 36 made, factory, no kits or plans. This one has the original Solo 210 engine, same as on my paramotor, and has passed through several owners who never flew it. Quick folding wings, and a factory trailer.

Probably not a good choice for the rough 1800' (with trees) grass strip I'm based at now, but hey, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

There is a yahoo group, but precious little information about the design's flying qualities, or structural issues (if any).
