MacCready . described. his
invention of the  fragile-
looking ‘Gossamer
Albatross, powered by its
pilot's legs pumping = on
bicycle pedals; as “basically
fun.” .

“It’s a Christmas present
to the world,” said Mac-
Cready, who built the super-
strength plastic aircraft as a
hobby. “It shows the great
mass of garage builders out
there how far you can go
with imagination, in-
ventiveness, efficiency and
conservation.” |

MacCready, 54, says he is
“bubbling over" with ideas
for other unconventional
aircraft,including a solar-
powered plane.

Once built, a solar craft
would be something of a
white ‘elephant in the United
States. “It's not a practical
transport,” MacCready said.

However, with its “simple
echnology and == minimal
ilight skills,” the craft could
find a home in developing
countries.

“It could’ be used in a
place where the roads
weren't good and the slow
speed = didn’t matter.
MacCready said. “If the
engine stopped, the pilot
wouldn't get hurt even if he
glided down into a tree.”

MacCready says his
construction of a solar-
powered) manned aircraft
will have to wait a while.
