During the last International F3F open of La muela, has been shown a new fully moulded sailplane from the company who made the Victor, Piloncio, 10 years ago. This new sailplane is available in 2 versions (F3F or F3B) and 2 building technics: hollow core (herex) or foam core. In both cases, the skin is with carbon, and there is a spar made from carbon and foam. The F3F/B foam core version is very affordable because at 650 Euros only where the hollow core is at 800 Euros. The section is the famous HQW2/8. The moulding quality is OK, especially at this price.

So for those who want a cheap but fully moulded plane, this Vector could be the solution. I also notice a very nice prototype of the 1.9m DS plane (picture at the bottom) exiting from the same molds (same section) around 300 Euros. If (very) strong, it could do a good DS plane.
