The Haufe HA-G-1 Buggie is an American high-wing, strut-braced, single-seat, glider that was designed and constructed by Bruno Haufe and Klaus Hill, first flying in 1967. Design and development Haufe and Hill intended to design and build a glider in the style of the classic open-cockpit gliders of the 1930s, like the Hütter Hü 17. The resulting design was an all-metal aircraft, with a welded steel tube fuselage, covered in doped aircraft fabric covering. The span wing has an 11.2:1 aspect ratio, employs a Clark Y airfoil and mounts spoilers. The landing gear is a fixed monowheel, supplemented by a fixed skid. The prototype was painted a bright yellow. Only one Buggie was completed; the aircraft was registered with the US Federal Aviation Administration in the Experimental - Amateur-built category. Haufe and Hill went on to design and built the Haufe HA-S-2 Hobby and the Haufe HA-S-3 Hobby, based on their experiences with the Buggie. Operational history In August 2011 the sole example built was still on the FAA registry, although its status was listed as "in question".
