As others said a Bocian would be nice, its one of the greatest trainers there is. We in genral need some polish gliders like the pirat or purchatz. Sadly dont really the skills to make them (might try in the future) but i could supply pics and manuals of both. (sadly none of them are rigged right now, so i would have to look through the pictures i have in stock)

I vote for the Moswey 4 or 4a :mrgreen:

I found a good documentation with a lot of detail pics and even a polar. But it‘s in german language.

A well done and nice page about the Gö 3 Minimoa

It's in French, but there are good online translators : Deepl.com is probably the best for text.
If you are lazy, you can copy and paste the link into Google Translate

I have a large PDF with hundereds of pictures from the build of the PH-80, a replica Minimoa. Especially the section about how to built the bend in the main spar is very interesting!

It’s a shame the T21 isn’t on the shortlist. If I get time (and can get my hands on some plans) I may turn it into a little project to dust off my modelling skills..

If it is made out of bits of wood, cloth, pieces of string and held together with chewinggum I would say :D

ok so if that is a definition of vintage i would recommend some polish gliders:
SZD-9 Bocian
SZD-12 Mucha 100 or SZD-22 Mucha Standard
SZD-24 Foka
SZD-30 Pirat

Well the VSA probably has the best definition of a vintage glider, the VGC has for years remained non-committal on it- and that is pre-1957 -anything else is just old. My vote would be for an Olympia 2b/Miese/Nord 2000 etc. as this was intended to be the original one design class 'Olympic' sailplane -there are many around about - even today you can fly one in its own class at the Wenlock Olympics held at the Myndd. Plus I used to own one and miss it :-)
