OK-XUA-11 Torezi Straton D8 Moby Dick at Letnany aerodrome near Prague in the Czech republic on June 8, 1993

The motorised ultralight sailplane Straton D8 Moby Dick was original driven by a Trabant or Rotax 227-engine. The wood construction V tail design has fibreglass wingtips and weights only 180kg. Like the D7 Mini Straton, the D8 was developed as a homebuilt motorised sail plane in the Czech Republic. It is available in partial kits or factory assembled leading edges, wing spars and ribs. Due to the low cost price, the Straton D8 is an attractive model for the homebuilder. The D8 is not only built in Europe, but also in the U.S.A.

The 1992-built Torezi Straton D8 Moby Dick OK-XUA-11 was photographed on June 8th 1993 at Letnany aerodrome near Prague.
