Laubenthal Lore

German single-seat glider, 1929

Overview

Lore and a copy, Musterle, were high performance sailplanes designed at Darmstadt by Paul Laubenthal. Lore was flown successfully by the well known glider pilot Wolf Hirth at the 1929 Rhön (Wasserkuppe) glider competition. Musterle was used by Hirth to demonstrate the possibilities of "blue sky" thermalling for the first time.
