Default Interesting Standard Libelle

My guess is that it is the Glasflugel 202. According
to a Glasflugel History document I have, it says this
of the 202:

'Wing and front part of the fuselage with canopy like
Standard-Libelle but with a round tube for the rear
and a T tail. One build at the year 1970 for Eugen
Aeberli (HB-1062, before D-0649).'

It is one if the one-offs that Glasflugel made when
transitioning from the 201 to the Club Libelle and
te Hornet.

Interesting stuff. The rear fuselage does look more rounded than the
201/301. Which is good: otherwise I can't imagine a worse candidate for
an add-on T-tail. The 201s, especially, were infamous for breaking in
ground loops. I still remember seeing a 301 (Rudy Allemann's?) in the
1981 U.S. 15M Nats at Minden, NV with external longerons glassed to the
rear fuselage. I don't know if they were temporary or if the pilot was
just tired of taking the ship into the repair shop.
