SOSA's K-21's in Progress at the factory

After the contest in Luesse, I had the opportunity to tour the Schleicher factory in Poppenhausen Germany and see SOSA's K-21's in production. The picture above shows one of our K-21 fuselages just after the two halves were glued together. The gentleman in the picture with me is Ulrich Kremer one of the company owners and grandson of Alexander Schleicher, the founder of the company,
This pictures shows the second K-21 fuselage alongside the first.

and finally, the wings.
The gliders are on schedule for a November completion and will be ready to fly at the beginning of next season.
