A beautiful but complicated glider of Finnish origin, designed by Simo Viljanen. In the inter Swedish-Finnish competition 1944, both Viljanen and Silmunen flew a Lokki (=Gull in Finnish). Viljanens model broke its fuselage in two after a bad landning, and the repair shortened the fuselage. Afterwards, he flew his model with a larger stabilizer to compensate.
