After a day of contemplation, I realized that I should look into donating
the WD to a museum.
It was great to be able to fly, and to allow other people to fly, such a
unique part of aviation history. However, it was designed to be flown
indoors, and we were severely limited as to when and where we could fly
it. I felt privileged to have ownership of the WD and obligated to have it
out where people could appreciate it, but it was a big money and time
sink. And sometimes a little scary.
We could patch the envelope to give it enough strength to be inflated with
air and hung in a museum. I could take a tax write off that could offset
some or all of the expenses of the last few years, depending on the
perceived value of the WD. And a lot more people would be able to see it.
Much thanks to those who replied to my question of where to get a new
envelope, but now I have a new question: What museum would like to have
the WD, and how do you arrive at value for the WD?
