francois 30/11/2008 | Text coming on Rgid Wing Models website :
"The Flair was a design developed by Günter Rochelt in 1987. Featured on the cover of 'Drachenflieger' magazine in November 1987, The Flair was first conceived in 1984, but took some time to develop, with work on the fiberglass - Carbon - Kevlar airframe begun in Spring, 1987. After a few test flights, in which the performance was confirmed but the rudders were found to be somewhat ineffectual, Günter decided not to put the Flair into production, concluding that he could improve performance further with some changes to the design (which led to the Flair 30 , whose design goal was to reach a 30:1 glide ratio in a foot-launched aircraft.)
