Cleary CL-1 Zipper

Single-seat light aircraft with twin booms and pusher propeller, designed and built by Laister Sailplanes and first flown 1983.

The CL-1 was powered with a 38 hp Kawasaki engine and had a power off glide ratio of 18-1.

The Zipper was first registered in 1983 as N3999C Serial Number X1.

I worked in building this aircraft with Jack Laister for Bill Cleary. Jack was the Engineer and I was the A&P. I’m trying to locate where this aircraft is. Both Jack and Bill have passed on now.
