The Rubik R-26 Góbé is a family of Hungarian shoulder-wing, two-seat training gliders. After its introduction the type became the de facto training glider type in Hungary and is still used by many clubs for basic instruction.This example now hangs outside the entrance to a supermarket inside this shopping centre. And, yes, if you are wondering, the designer that gave his name to the type was Ernő Rubik Sr., the father of Rubik's Cube inventor Ernő Rubik. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
