Spencer Compact 110

Bill Spencer designed and built a low cost glider aimed at the “lazy day soaring” crowd. It was interesting enough to be reviewed twice in Kitplanes, a magazine

The fuselage weighs only 29 pounds total. It is built of pop-riveted aluminum tubes and a plywood seat.

The Compact 110 is designed for foot launching from a gentle slope into a steady wind. Essentially, the pilot stands in the cockpit, picks it up, and runs down the slope into the wind until the seat picks the pilot up.
