Duo Discus
D-3860 – “WO”
About the Duo Discus:
“WO” joined the club fleet in September 2023 as part of a joint venture with our friends from Gliding Transilvania. The Duo Discus is a two-seat, high-performance glider designed for both cross-country flying and flight training. Developed by the German manufacturer Schempp-Hirth, the Duo Discus has become one of the most popular two-seat gliders in the world since its introduction in the 1990s. Known for its exceptional glide ratio of around 1:45, the Duo Discus is one of the top-performing two-seat gliders, making it suitable for long cross-country flights and competitions.

IS-28 B2
D-5397 – “IB”
About the IS-28 B2:
Every Romanian glider pilot started to fly on the “B2”, that’s why most of them have a very special relation to this type of glider. For this reason we replaced our old Bergfalke in 2019 with the IS-28. The glider is capable for so many things. It has a decent performance for cross-country training, an easy handling for basic training and due to it’s strong structure it’s also good for light aerobatics. We use it for all of the above but mostly for local training and checkflights.

The glider has 3 configurations, 15m without winglets, 15m with winglets and 16m wing tip extensions for a better performance in climb and glide. It’s the perfect glider for our members to do some joy flying and to train crosscountry and improve their skills.

About the Discus:
At the moment we are looking to purchase (preferably) a Discus CS again until 2025′ season. For this project we are still looking for sponsors! The Discus CS is a high-performance, single-seat glider. In the soaring community the Discus is loved due to its combination of maneuverability, efficiency, and comfort.. Like many modern gliders, the Discus CS is constructed from fiberglass and composite materials. The glider is known for its good glide ratio of around 42:1, this makes it ideal for cross-country flights and competitions.

Ka 6 BR-Pe
D-3015 – “IE”
About the Ka6:
The Ka 6 is the oldie in our fleet, it was build in 1958. Her wooden structure is really light weight, which makes the Ka 6 a nice glider for thermalling. Performancewise she’s much better than most of you think, our members have already made flights of over 600km and 110km/h average speed. Just a great glider and a lot of fun to fly. A open canopy is in the planning – perfect for hot summer days.

MS 894 A “Rallye Minerva”
D-EAHL
About the Morane:
D-EAHL is our club airplane, mainly used for towing gliders and local flights to give people the impression of our beautiful sport. It was purchased 2019 as replacement of our weaker Rallye 180TS, which was not able to tow heavy gliders out of our gras airfield. With the MS 894 we are now able to tow nearly any kind of glider and to do passenger flights – a real workhorse for the club. Beside it’s capabilities the Morane is also a fun airplane to fly, all our pilots in the club like it a lot.
