Juan Corral (Fuzzy)Want HG history? Want craft? Want spectrum of involvement? Want an aviation-family tree? Want things to fit and not come apart? Want generous spirit of participation? Look no further than Juan Corral. This topic thread invites the aviation life and works of Juan Corral along with all the family extensions into wing ways that we might muster. From a Charles Lindbergh with a Corral grandfather and more. The full fun story is hoped.
Juan worked in the center of many of the classic hang glider manufacturing scenes. He has been a part of Greblo stunt hang glider worlds. His developed skills and sharpened senses graces current
Cinnabar, as Production Manager.
Juan told me yesterday at Sylmar LZ that he wants to share his story parts and aviation family tree. He was core team on designing and making the bench at Sylmar Hang Glider Flight Park that holds memorial ashes for some of our flight friends.

Juan helps shepherd exhibit designs from the conceptual phase through development to their final realization as built elements. Juan joined Cinnabar in 1999 as a specialty fabricator for motion picture special effects and theme park attractions. He brings an extensive understanding of fabrication methodologies and materials to the development and testing of mockups and prototypes as well as supervising the production of shop drawings, exhibit fabrication and installation. Juan is also an accomplished test pilot, designer and fabricator of hang gliders and ultra-light aircraft. His background in this field has contributed in many ways to the development of simple and effective structures and mechanisms that are light and elegant.
The Juan Corral flowing habit in his words:
"Count me in. Juan plus 3 Thanks."Add the JuanC smile with that flow.
Let us know Corral aviation stories, All.
Hang gliding in his family started from a kite base. Relative took measures from a paper print of an image of Bill Bennett flying near the Statue of Liberty. Hey, that is just a kite; let's build one. Kite skills of the players along with aviation-family spirits brought hang gliding to the family in Mexico and then beyond.
