Scott--Not to embarrass Jack, but that is the tip of the iceberg so to speak. 
Run him up on Google.  He manufactured the Pterodactyl hang glider and as I
understand built a 2-place to haul his girlfriend of the time around in..  Also
the 200 mph swing wing glider, "Switchblade", in an 007 movie was one of his
doings...  Jack- before I forget it, I applied at Advanced Composites Group in
Tulsa, and they had a neat graphite F-1 body in the front office and they told
me the rocket powered back pack wing deal that crossed the English Channel was
of their fabrication if you ever need a supplier of that sort of stuff.

Got a special treat last night. Was watching an old (2006) episode of
"Gearhead Gladiators" on National Geographic channel. They were following
three competitors in an ultralight competition. Told a little about the
first, and then moved on to the second. And from Cave Junction, Oregon (and
I said - wow - I know somebody from there) then there was Jack McCornack!
Jack was making a very inovative ultralight that ALMOST ended up working
really well - lots of innovative design ideas. Don't know if they plan to
show it again, but if you can catch it it's pretty neat!
