RRG Fafnir II from FlyingThings
i very nice old glider you made here. i was very happy to see a older glider here . i love the detail you made on the wing the glass and the car that takes the glider in the air. to bad the glide ratio kinde sucks and the center of mass is very far it the back with makes the glider very weird to fly.but i like it
upvotes 4 +

    we should make the devs add thermals so gliders are more viable.
    I mean, they already implemented wind, so how hard can upwards wind be?

    @Lipton1 oh lol, ach dein deutsch ist gut genug. Das schleicher buch sollte ich mir vielleicht auch mal besorgen. Und generell kann ich die ganze buch reihe empfehlen, jedes buch ist über eine spezifische sache und auch immer mit verdammt vielen details und bildern, echt gutes zeug

    @Lipton1 Wenn du es nicht schon hast würde ich dir "Die Evolution der Segelflugzeuge" aus der "Die Deutsche Luftfahrt"-Reihe empfehlen, aus dem buch hatte ich die idee mit der Fafnir, und da sind auch ne menge anderer interessanter gleiter dabei
    Edit : I just saw one german comment on your profile so i might've assumed too quickly xd
