| This aircraft was completely restored to like new condition for the International Vintage Soaring Meet in 2012. It is now always kept under cover in a hangar in a covered trailer. It is clearly a high performance glider ahead of its time when it was built in 1959. It is a very nice flying glider with no surprising flying characteristics. At the time of restoration, there was a slight amount of water damage of the elevators but the rest of the glider was in very good shape. It was recovered with the Poly Fiber process without problems. I am honored to be the owner of such a beautiful and rare glider in the USA. | |
