The American Spirit was a well-intentioned but poorly executed attempt to make an American sailplane for homebuilders, that could hold its own against European high performance sailplanes. The man in charge of the project, Tor Jensen, made numerous errors in the planning and execution. But this would represent an excellent starting point for an E-AB effort to make an efficient powerplane, a self-launch glider, etc. Even with all the issues and potential problems the Spirit exhibited, the molded parts and canopy in this kit are worth five times the $200 asking price.
