Built in 1934 by the Vaasa Aviation Enthusiasts' Club based on German design plans published by Hans Jacobs in 1932. It was one of the first gliders in Finland and the only one of its kind in service there. It first flew on February 28, 1935, and remained in service until 1939. The glider was severely damaged by bombing during the Winter War and ultimately destroyed in the 1960s during the demolition of a small hangar on the outskirts of Vaasa Airport. Only the fuselage boom with the rudder survived, now on display at the Museum.
