Preiss RHJ-9
The Preiss RHJ-9 is an evolution of the RHJ-7 and RHJ-8 side-by-side two-seat flapped homebuilt gliders. The wingspan was increased to 18.29 m and the maximum mass was raised to 500 kg. A wing construction similar to that of the later HP-18 was adopted employing foam ribs bonded to the aluminum spars and skins. It first flew in 1978.

gollark: Is there some status light on Pi Zeros which comes on even if there's no SD card?
gollark: You know what, you're probably right, oh well.
gollark: I guess it probably does depend a lot, but for quite a lot of user-facing stuff, near-infinite divisibility (infinite with bignums) and no precision issues on small numbers are probably good.
