About "Weihe" glider

               During 1949, inthe national flying festival in Ruma, Maks Arbajter won the first place with Vaja. Next year, with the very same Vaja he went to the World’s Gliding Championship in Erebro Sweden, where he won the third place. Soon after almost one hundred Vaja’s were built in the country. On local and national  championships all the pilots were flying Vajas so that the very best could become the champion. We all loved flying Vajas. It gave us opportunities to win gliding badges, set records and enter championships. Franc Mordej won the first diamond badge in Yugoslavia on a Vaja glider. He flew from Vršac to Katerini near Thessalonica in Greece; over 500 km. Piloting Vajas we were gathering flying and competition’s experience. All of us had a nice time flying Vajas. As for the out landing - it was excellent.
