Pedro-
I fly one of two TST 10M (single place 15M motor glider with 40:1 L/D) in the U.S. that I've owned for 4 years now. To my knowledge they made a 7 and 9 Junior. What is the 8DM and where have you seen one? I saw a short video,online, of a early TST motor glider taking off perhaps it was a 8DM? It had a rather heavy/thick rear fuselage.

After a little research I found the take off video and see it was in fact of the TST 8DM. TEST does not list the 8DM as a variant so my guess is, it was a early prototype that never went into production? Perhaps a test bed for the TST 14M Bonus which is a their 2 place motor glider ??
Again, where did you first learn of this model?
