Applebay GA-111 Mescalero
The Applebay GA-111 Mescalero is an American high-wing, T-tailed single-seat, FAI Open Class glider that was designed by George Applebay.〔Said, Bob: ''1983 Sailplane Directory, Soaring Magazine'', page 48. Soaring Society of America November 1983. USPS 499-920〕
==Design and development==
The Mescalero was designed by Applebay in response to the Soaring Society of America's 1970 ''Sailplane Design Competition''. The competition was aborted and the glider was not completed until January 1975. The aircraft is named for the Mescalero Apache tribe.〔〔
The Mescalero is of predominantly composite construction, with the wing constructed from metal and fiberglass and the fuselage and tail all a fiberglass monocoque structure. The wing is built in two pieces, has a very high aspect ratio of 36:1 and employs a Wortmann airfoil. The aircraft can be assembled from its trailer in just ten minutes using special ground handling stands that eliminate the need to lift the large wings by hand. All control surfaces are 100% mass balanced and feature automatic connections upon assembly.〔〔
The sole Mescalero completed was intended as a prototype for mass production and was registered in the ''Exhibition/Racing'' category. Applebay decided not to put the aircraft into production and concentrated on the FAI 15 metre Class Zuni instead, which did enter production.〔〔
