Unknown/Generic Glider (M2PH1399)

Beauty Shot!

I never knew they are so small

some of those kind have a gliding rate of more then 50/1. gain altitude even in minus. can stay in the air for hours. the only limitation are the lack of oxygen beyond 12000 FT.

I once looked for PH-1399 on the internet, but found two different Schleicher Aviation models, either a Schleicher ASW-27 or a Schleicher ASG-29

5 bonus stars for sound levels

My database reads "Schleicher ASW 27-18E" with msn=29542.

Says ASG29 on the side though....

Those wings are astonishing! What modern materials science has made available continues to amaze me...
