The Scimitar is a 15 m. racing class sailplane which matches an advanced Discus planform wing with electronic boundary layer control married to a Schempp-Hirth Ventus fuselage. The Scimitar II is a Standard Class sailplane developed form the Scimitar I.

The 2-place side-by-side T. 21P first flew in 1944 with a removable nose upper deck section to give students the same exposure to the airflow as experienced in primary gliders. Using the same wing section, it was in many respects and enlarged, 2-place, Grunau Baby. The standard production T. 21B, with fixed nose, first flew…

The fuselage was made by bending the outside skin into a wooden jig and riveting the bulkheads and stringers to it from the inside, working through the open top which was then covered. The main wing spar center…

The SG-1A was designed and built in 1970 as an inexpensive, easy-to-build ship with gentle flight characteristics. No special jigs or tools are required other than a welding rig and common hand tools. The boom-and pod design, which has been static load tested to 9g without failure, features a strut-braced aluminum wing with upper- surface…

Developed in 1964 from the earlier Zugvogel and SF-26, the Sf-27A was a Standard Class design intended to compete with Schleicher’s Ka-6E. It has typical Scheibe steel-tube structure (with a fiberglass nose section), all-flying tail, Schempp-Hirth type dive brakes and semi- reclining seating. The wing ribs are spaced only 4 inches apart and heavy plywood…
