| Histoire résumée | The Beta 1 was designed with the intent of being the US?s first fiberglass production sailplane. The semi boom-and-pod fuselage was composed of two fiberglass half-shells that join top and bottom. It featured a fully-reclined pilot position, T-tail with mass-balanced elevators, fixed gear and Schempp-Hirth speed-limiting dive brakes. The Beta 1 has been donated to the National Soaring Museum. |
