Age and length OK. AGF on plagiarism. I'm having trouble verifying that the topic exists; the only non-WP/mirror hits I'm getting on Google for "Airborne Avenger" convern a 1977 Atari game. Also, the source may not be
reliable.
This website (scroll to bottom) suggests the author Andre Cliche runs Cybair Publishing, which would make it a
self-published source.

That is why I added the eminently reliable Jane's All The World's Aircraft. See Gbooks here:
[1]. Also, as Cliche is in Quebec and Cybair Publishing is apparently
in Vermont, it appears he merely works for them, instead of owning the company. The
Complete Idiot's Guide to Sport Flying also gives kudos to both Cliche and Cybair as ultralight experts. -

With a little work we could probably have made the OH work, but I like ALT1 better. I think main page visitors will enjoy learning you can build your own airplane; I know I just did. Thanks for providing the Gbooks link; it all checks out. Article and hook are good to go.
