Quick Facts General information, Type ...

This sailplane was first displayed at the World Glider Aerobatic Championships in Venlo, Netherlands, 1993, where Jerzy Makula flew it to win the World Championship. Shortly after the Championships ended, promotional flights were arranged to enable top pilots to fly this aircraft. The Fox has since had several successes at other international competitions.[1][2]

Production stopped in 2005 after 36 gliders had been built; since 2011, however, production has been resumed.
