The SZD-9 Bocian (Polish: "Stork") is a multi-purpose two-seat sailplane that was designed and built in Poland at Szybowcowy Zakład Doświadczalny (Glider Experimental Works) in Bielsko-Biała, beginning in 1952. It was designed to be capable of fulfilling the needs of every area from training to competition flying. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

This model of a Bocian-1E / SZD-9 glider is released under the terms of theGPLv2.

The FDM is not yet accurate and I would welcome help in testing and improvingit.

Thanks are due to;

My wife and son, for not complaining too much about the time spent on modellingstuff for FG :-)

Jakub Klawiter (and Piotr Szymanski) for the wealth of great photos and videoshe supplied me with and gave permission to use in this model, for making aspecial trip to the gliding club in the middle of winter to take specificallyrequested photos, for locating (and most importantly, translating!) a Bocian flightmanual and for providing information on flight characteristics.

Maik Justus, for his great work in implementing the superb aerotow and winchlaunching features and making glider models possible with YASim, his help withthis FDM config, and not forgetting his work on making landing on water with aglider as dangerous as it should be ;-)

Dave Perry for the pilot models. If anyone wants to volunteer a mugshot tolet me have two non-identical twin pilots, feel free to send it this way :-)
