The Albastar Apis WR is a single seater sailplane of Slovenian manufacture, the first aircraft created entirely by this manufacturer, Albastar Ltd.[1] An Ultralight Class glider, it has set five world records in this class.[2]
Often confused with the very similar Wezel Apis 2, the two designs are not related.[2]
It is sold by Albastar ready-to-fly or kit-built.[2]
