Description

The “Rhon Ranger” is a type of primary glider (or Zogling variant), designed in Europe, for which plans were published in America in the 1930s. In America it is called the “Mead” primary glider after the Chicago firm that marketed Rhon Ranger kits and plans there. A Rhon Ranger was built by the members of the Amisk Glider Club, Amisk, Alberta, about 1931. It was flown actively, and successfully, by the club. A second glider was built later.
