Hang Glider class sailplane

Saw this cool little sailplane--didn't catch the name of it. Apparently the guy flying it was taking it up for his first test flight, and was one of the developers. This was at Schanis glider club in Switzerland earlier this month. As you can see it has flaps, has a door in the floor so that it can be launched "Fred Flintstone" style (thus helping to put it in the Hang Glider class as defined in Switzerland), and when runways like this are available it comes with an electric motor powered pusher prop with self folding blades in the back, powerful enough for self-launch.
Might be a fun addition to Condor...
