The only ships I know of with dihedral on the T-tail is the Adastra
the D-36/ASW12 and the Lark. I'm sure there are others in the vintage
group, but not anything modern that I know of. Contest #10 at Szeged
is the LS-10 Vladimir Folton is flying for Slovakia. Wingtip looks
correct for a 10, but that tailplane... is it an LS 10 with a custom/
experimental tailplane -or- that modded D-36 maybe?

It's an illusion caused by wing behind tail in photo.
D-36 and ASW-12 had no dihedral in stab.
UH
Photo 56 in the series shows the glider from the other side and no dihedral to be seen on the tailplane
