I enjoyed your pictures verry much! I'm
a real Calif fan! my plane is the only registered in Belgium.
This winter (2006/7) Rob and I are planning a paintjob on the fuselage of our plane. I have never have flown in the mountans and it's a desire I have to discover it one day. It would be fantastic to enjoy a fight in my dreamplane in a area I like to explore.

I will be happy to meet you by this web
site.
I'm calif owner years ago, and since
the beginning I had looked for find information about Calif in general. My Calif is the last which had been built with set of parts of last Caproni production by this fact it had some differences with standard calif released its first flight in 1991. Since it had had three owners. Now it's my Calif. And it is based at Buno in south of Paris for 50 kms. If you want to know Buno there is the link http://www.aave-buno.net it's beautiful airfield in south of Paris near the Fontainebleau forest. For this beginning of year my mince activity is to build a new trailer to replace the original trailer who was near to brake down in parts. I hope to finish at the beginning of June and could do long ride other the country. The Calif is not easy to fit. So I create some tools to fit PV and now I can do it alone. I joint some pictures and I will be very happy to have a little place on your web site. my fight to Monte Rosa in connection by the meeting 2012 at Calcinate Fred.Dautreppe (05/2007) < mail:fred.dautreppe@hotmail.fr> mouse over image

Hallo Georg, deine Calif-Zusammenstellung finde ich super! Ich fliege den Calif in Kempten-Durach. Hier ein interessanter Flugbericht:http://www.wlg-lindenberg.de/ErikFliescher.htm Es war ein unbeschreibliches Erlebnis. Jeder der schon einmal versucht hat, abends Frau und Kinder mit den Eindrücken des Tages zu "überfluten", weiß dass man solche Tage mit Worten nicht beschreiben kann. Das ist für mich ein Grund, Calif zu fliegen. Der Calif steht bei schnellem Wetter einem DUO-Discus oder einer DG 1000 wahrscheinlich nicht viel nach. Dafür ist er für einen Bruchteil des Geldes zu bekommen und der Spaß des Side-by-Side-Fliegens ist einfach unschlagbar. Alpenfliegen mit dem Calif ist das Größte! Nebeneinander sitzend lässt sich die Begeisterung verdoppeln. Schöne Grüße mouse over image   |

USA Rebuild as the Jet | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Dave "Hammer" Harris and I had met a few times
before, first
in discussions about his beautiful BD-5J,
which he flies for air shows and as a target for military fighters. When
Dave mentioned that he'd have his custom Caproni A-21J in Ephrata in June,
I looked forward to the opportunity to check it out. Dave is an outstanding aviation craftsman, and he felt the jet engine installation in the original Caproni A-21Js left something to be desired. He designed, fabricated and built his own custom jet engine installation in his A-21J, and the result is a work of art. We quickly taxied to the concrete end of the Ephrata glider launch
ramp,
and "pushed it up" for a nice rapid acceleration to takeoff
speed. Even though the small jet only puts out about 200 pounds of thrust,
we quickly established a 1500 FPM climb rate and blasted out of the local
area. |

AUSTRALIA > Tocumwal Calif A-21SJA !! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Owned by Mr Christopher Corrigan.. bought from Germany in 1995 after
extensive re-building with parts from 5 Capronis making one whole
sailplane. Re-designated A21SJA in June 2000 fitted with a Microturbo TRS18-046-1 jet. This jet conversion differed significantly from the previous factory produced "Jet Capronis" with better takeoff performance and other improvements. VH-GCM is being used in the development of small jet engines aimed at self launching sailplanes and small sporting aircraft. That project is a joint project between Mr Corrigan and Aviation and General Engineering GCM is available for demonstration toany interested glider pilot visiting Australia.

Lasham - UK | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

She is the only Calif
registered in the UK. My wife Myriam (French) and I bought F-CEUE from the
club at Vinon Sur Verdon in 2005. We both started gliding in 2003, and the
Calif was the obvious choice as a sociable high performing 2 seater. This glider has 10000+ hours and 6500+ launches, and is combined from two Califs that Vinon originally bought in 1977, and which had sustained damage. She is flown most weeks during the season. We find her lovely in the air, but not so easy on the ground. Lasham is probably the biggest gliding club in the world, with seven hundred members. It is open 364 days of the year, and the restaurant opens at 8 am every day. There are 7 professional instructors in the summer and 2 in thewinter, two winches and 5 tugs planes. We keep a static caravan at the airfield for accommodation, and we park the Calif rigged in all weather covers. Cheers Picture from final glide over the South
Coast of England to the Isle of Wight. two launching grids during the

Im April 2001 habe ich das Flugzeug aus Venezuela von dem einzigen Segelflugverein des Landes Planeadores Altagracia
C.A. gekauft und nach Deutschland geholt. Das Flugzeug hatte bis dahin 34 Stunden Flugzeit und 49 Landungen absolviert. Die Luftwaffe Venezuela hatte 1978 drei Calif A21S gekauft, von denen nur einer mit der Werk-Nr..: 245 vom venezolanischen Segelflugverein erworben wurde. Die anderen beiden Flugzeuge sind nicht mehr vorhanden. Die Fa. Gomolzig hat uns die Fahrwerkswarnung wieder in Betrieb gesetzt. Jeder Calif war damit ausgerüstet. Die Schaltung kann auch übermittelt werden. Herzliche Grüße aus Brandenburg Rainer mouse over image  |

the first of the production Jets. Powered with a 100 KG thrust Microturbo, this aircraft was the airshow demonstrator for the factory.
It was bought by Dick Reiser and imported into the USA. Mostly unused, it was brought to me ( Techsoar) for a complete rebuild. New fuel cell, paint in polyurethane ( all white at the moment), Microturbo inspection ( at the factory in France)and new "gommis" completed the project.
I bought the aircraft several years ago, and have up-graded the instrument panel.
The glider will probably be put up for sale soon, as I now own # 257, and cannot keep both. Nick Leonard a historical video here... |

This A21SJ
StarShip was the last of the Jet Caproni aircraft produced by the factory. It was bought in 1984 by D. Reiser in the USA, and was flown in the Andes Expedition in 1986.
Badly damaged in an offloading accident on the dock of Los Angeles, the ship was brought to me at Techsoar for a complete repair and upgrade. The project was completed 9 months later, now having new fuel cell, uprated (125 kg thrust TRS-18-056-1 engine), profiled wings, new polyurethane paint, landing gear components and so on.
The ship was put into storage in 1993; I bought the aircraft from the estate in 2008 and have now finished refurbishing the bird for flight sometime this month (October 2008). Another fuel cell installed, "gommis" and soforth. I will upgrade the instrument panel soon, with LX computers and Dynon "glass" horizon instruments, as well as suitable transponder gear.
I am looking forward to some true XC work with her!

Tapis Volant wich is French for flying carpet is a
group of six glider pilots from Holland The reason for our name is because of the name Calif, a Caliph is an oriental head of state with a turban and a waterpipe perhaps so the avarage guy who flies flying carpets. The real reason for the name Calif is that it is a mixture of the constructors first names Carlo and Livio. Anyway,in 1996 the idea was born to buy a Calif and in 1997 our syndicate was founded. Through internet several options where found and we bought the one for sale in Ferrara, Italy from the Aeroclub "Mario Naldini". Before this we had flown the demo Calif from Gomolzig Flugzeugbau in Schwelm (Germany) who can assemble 6 new Califs from all the parts he has. And now after years of flying it we are still very happy with this extrordinary glider. That has proven to be at least speaking for myself the the ultimate in flying pleasure. Sure there are much better two seaters but it's worth a few L/D points to sit side by side. (compared to a Duo-Discus it is only 1,5 l/d points) And the reason for this page is that I discovered when looking for a Calif for sale that there was no source of information on it on the internet . So I started and got good feedback on it and it was very usefull in exchanging experiences with other A21S pilots all over the world. http://www.tapisvolant.nl >Video< mouse over image   |

I own the Calif 3A-MPV with a
friend Michel Franchi. We were based in Fayence. I would have liked to participate to your meeting next may. But unfortunatly I crashed 3A-MPV in April 2007 in Challes les Eaux. The tow cable broke shortly after take off. I had no solution to land safely. Challes les Eaux airfield is in town. :-( The Calif is destroyed but we, my copilot and myself, were both safe. The investigation about the crash is not over and I must justify the price of the Calif. If you have any tracks of Calif transactions in the community that would help me. (mail) Regards Fabrice |

I purchased Calif #228 from the original
owner in 2010. I have since done a complete renovation, including paint,
new instruments/panel and new Cobra trailer. The in flight picture was
the center fold in Soaring Magazine, April 2013. My Calif now has 570
hours and is flying regularly from Bermuda High Soaring, Jefferson SC,
U.S.A. I highly recommend Alfred Spindelberger (Cobra Trailers) for the excellent custom built trailer, and IMI Gliding (Jan Kantor) for the great custom built rigging dolly. (2013) Cockpit renovated Regards, Alan this glider has a new owner: it's now in Spartanburg, SC, nur ca. 2.5 Stunden von Bermuda High entfernt mouse over image    |

Number 255 is coming back to active duty at Southern Riverina Gliding Club!
(2013) After manufacturing in Germany back in 1996, our Calif had around 250 hours of flying at the factory during flight performances tests and then was sold to Australia. The glider arrived in Tocumwal, New South Wales and the plan was to get equipped with a Jet Turbine. S/N 255 was in storage until last year (2011)vand our club decided to purchase it. With enormous dedication of Mr Mike Burns and Mr Ingo Renner and also with big help of club members our Calif will be used by club members for advanced Cross Country training. Riverina Gliding Club and Ingo Renner are the new owners. The new registration marks of D-6631 is now VH-GUB. Stay tuned for more! A warm regards from DOWN UNDER, Zack Lutovac Der erste aus den übernommenen Caproni Teilen zusammen gebaute Calif. Er wurde an das Trio Calif nach Neuchatel geliefert, jedoch nach kurzer Zeit beschädigt, von uns wieder instandgesetzt und 2001 an Mike Burns mit Serial Nr GO256 zusammen nach Australien verkauft.

neuer Calif aus Südafrika |
|
Wir haben einen neuen Calif Eigentümer unter uns Freek's : |
Diederik van der Pant (mail: djvdpant@gmail.com) Diese Werk Nr. war in der von Caproni übergebenen Werk Nr. Liste aller ausgelieferten Calif ein unbekanntes Flugzeug nur mit dem Hinweis „ Cedar Farm LTD“ womit ich (Gomolzig)nichts anfangen konnte und keine Verbindung zu einem Califen herstellen konnte. Im Herbst hat Diederik van de Pant erstmal sich an mich gewandt mit der Bitte für die Adresse von Jeroen. Diederik ist einer aus einer holländischen Haltergemeinschaft die bis jetzt einen Bergfalken betrieben haben der aber zerstört ist, und nun suchen sie was neues. Mit Jeroen kam die Truppe im Oktober nach Radevormwald zum probefliegen und waren begeistert. Der Flieger tauche vor kurzem hier auf: http://gliderforsale.org/detail/glider/1978-caproni-a21s-zs-gpm. Auf der Home-Page von Magaliesburg findest du weiter info.

I live in South Africa and have just bought a Caproni Calif, serial number 216. |
This is the last remaining Caproni Calif in South Africa. I will be restoring the aircraft over the rest of this year and will keep you posted as the work progresses. attached some photos to give an idea of the current state of the aircraft. I am a member of Magalies Gliding Club (MGC) which is also stationed at Orient Airfield. You can find more information on the MGC website. I will send new photos as the work progresses.

sale in year 2005 owner mr Ray
Williams. I sold May 2006 to San Antonio Texas. They had too much assembly
help and some one tightened the (Bottom right wing pin) The right wing
separated on lift off and destroyed the glider but saved the occupants.
SN 206 was my first Caproni and now the
USAF TG-12. I sold it to the Boeing Co.
and they used it on a flight test program for a missile seeker. The
nose cone was replaced with a Radome and the seeker was mounted in front
of the pilot. The USAF obtained the glider at the end of the program. They
had it restored to original configuration upon returning it to Tehachapi.
Soon to be retired to the USAF Museum at Edwards Air Force Base.glider
