IT may be.. but we've never seen it here... I wonder where the LLC keeps it.
It also says it was built in 1991.. not really a "new" glider.

Beautiful! I love a one piece canopy. We need more trainers like this.

The only small thing I see from the pictures that might concern me is the
external mass ballances on the elevator. Many glilder fields are less
than
perfectly clear of debris. It looks as if it might be possible a chunk
of
that debris (or a unused tow rope) might get lodged between the
stabilizer
and the mass balance horn on the takeoff roll. This has happened on older
gliders.

If there's still time in the development phase for these mass ballances
to
be internalized, doing so might improve the glider's marketability.

SZD Bielsko is in the final phase of testing of "new" 2 seat glider
designed for initial and advanced training. It will be fully aerobatic
with 17.5 m wings and with 20 m wings it becomes pretty good x-c
sailplane with L/D of 41.8. The reason I am saying "new" with
quotation marks is that the glider was designed in the late 80-ties
and bears name SZD 54 Perkoz. But the SZD Bielsko is working right now
to bring the glider into production.
