AERO CLUB GLIDER SECTION
PLANS TO PURCHASE
SEVERAL PLANES
SEEK SUITABLE TERRAIN.
Detroit Manufacturer Of Gliders
Lauds Michigan As First To
Organize Gliding Club
Gliding, which has taken the
popular fancy of young Germany i
by storm, received an added impe-
tus here Tuesday night when Don-
ald F. Walker, manager of the Ev-
ans Gliding Clubs of America, and
Forrest Heath, Detroit manufactur-
er of gliding planes, addressed a
gathering of more than 130 stu-
dents under the auspices of the
Aeronautical club.
The meeting ;was a direct out-
growth of the recent formation of
a glider section of the Aero club,
under the chairmanship of Rob-
ert B. Evans, '30, who spent last
summer in Europe studying the .art
of gliding as it has developed there.
This glider section plans in the near
future to purchase several gliders
and perform actual glider flights
as soon as is practicable.
Scouting expeditions to locate
suitable terrain over which to glide
have already beensent out, and
possibilities have been discovered.
Rolling territory is necessary, with
ridges crossing the prevailing winds
freedom from timber and other ob-
structions, broken ground for land-
ing, and accessibility by motor car.1
So far the Irish hills west of Sa-
line offer the best prospect, al-
though a region in the more im-(
mediate vicinity of Ann Arbor is;
desired. Suitable terrain existsj
north of Barton dam, according to
Evans, but is obstructed by hight
tension wires.
Immediate purchase of a "school-
ing glider" from the Detroit firm;
which makes them was indicated
yesterday as the policy of the club.
This will be followed by the pur-;
chase of one or more schooling
gliders and a "course :B glider"E
either from Detroit or direct from
Germany, where glider construc-a
tion has reached its present perfec-
tion. Later gliders will be built in1
the shops of the University Aero-]
