Hallmark of the motor glider is a stylized rainbow in the ship's side as his predecessors.
Financing
The construction costs of approximately EUR 23.3 million were financed through a very elaborate flash website on the principle of crowdfunding, where you almost every single part " buy " and possibly the purchase or donation could pay someone. The more than 100,000 individual donors are called on a large banner in the conference room of the finished ship.
Inserts
