VTOL DOWN for flaps. VTOL UP for spoilers. A civilian license-built variant of the bjao Albatross glider. Representatives of Dragot Aerospace were impressed with the glider, and offered to produce it under license. They made several modifications, such as the addition of flaps, the enlargement of the tail surfaces, and enlarged winglets. Flaps and spoilers were the most noticeable modification, allowing the pilot to increase the lift of the wings and the spoilers allowed for increased drag to allow the type to slow down faster on landing.
