Glider Graphics by Zahradnik
At the 2004 regionals at Parawon, I briefly saw a self launching glider with really attractive graphics down the side of the fuselage. I don't think that the pilot was entered in the contest, but he launched with the grid one day. Does anyone: Know this glider? Know how to contact the owner?
