May 05, 1963 - As in a bath-tub.. lies the pilot of the new glider BS 1 in the cockpit. The trunk looks like a lead-pencil and all plains are total smooth. A special tail unit and the new constructed wings (18 meter wingspread) qualify the sail-plane to glide from a high of 1000 m over a distance from 45km. The distance for the normal glider is only 34km maximal. the specialists means, that this sail-plane is a revolution in the gliding flight. he can take 150 liter water as ballast and the normal glider take only 40 liter. Photo Shows the constructor Bjorn Stender (STENDER), a 29 jears old certified engineer in the cockpit of his bath-tub
