Histoire résumée | Hans LOHR purchased a wrecked Grob Astir 102, then contacted the Grob company in Germany for plans and informed them of his project. They liked his idea and gave permission to proceed. He created moulds to make a new set of wings,
cut off the fuselage behind the wings and rejoined the tail in a pod & boom configuration. A Rotax engine was
fitted along with a pusher prop. The result was an extremely clean design with minimum drag. Astir Motor - glider L3 was certified in 1997 as FYWZ.
At last Hans achieved his dream of a self-launching glider of high performance and comfort. He did many cross-country flights from Lindsay Airport and made his last flight at the age of eighty on Sept 9, 2003. He put 195 hours on FYWZ.
