Damage from bird strike?
Have seen two examples in the workshop. Both eagles. One took
out the canopy injuring the pilot. Other split the vertical stabilizer open over a meter leaving 15K worth of damage.

Damage from bird strike?
A griffon vulture hit the tip of horizontal tail of DuoDiscus. It ripped it completely off. Sadly the glider was too close to mountain for pilots to open parachutes.
I never felt comfortable thermalling with bigger birds after this accident. Glider has some pretty fragile parts sticking out.
