Uk Catalogue of Hang Gliders : Manufacturers of 1976 : Gliders Made by Eclipse : SK96

SK96 SK96

(made in 1976)

It is believed that only one of this model was constructed. The design incorporates a wider nose angle than usual, reduced billow and radial tip battens. Its owners were Simon Murphy (photo), Graham Rock, Andy White and Peter Kerr. The machine was later fitted with a cambered keel which reportedly improved the handling. The last owner landed the glider in the sea - end of SK96

SK98

Several of these were built but no photo is available. Research into the various gliders produced by Eclipse has proved difficult and fraught with confusion. Most of the information available here is by courtesy of Simon Murphy.
