However the certification process is not yet fulfilled, the new
Diana-2 participated in May in Leszno (with a temporary authorization)
in the Polish Championship of the Open class.
On its board, Janusz Centka won the title !
The majority of gliders were quite old Jantar-2B, but several
participating pilots flew such machines as Ventus-2C, LS-8/18,
ASW-22BL, ASW-28/18 and LAK-17...

I thought that was a worm burner at first but the airbrakes are open.
Where is the wheel??

at a glide ratio of 50:1 you dont need a wheel: you just glid along the curve
of the planet :-)

By the size of the fuse, I don't think a wheel would fit. Must be a trolley
launcher. Either that, or someone just picks it up and throws it into the
air.

I think that if it was called a Ventus 3, there would be dozens of orders by
now!
