Photo Comment

The Rubik R-16 Lepke (Butterfly) was a single seat Hungarian training glider of which around 66 were produced in 1952-3. These became the standard Hungarian single-seat trainer until retirement in the 1960s after around ten years of use. This example hangs from the roof in the main hall of this super museum.
