The MDM MDM-1 Fox is a composite mid-wing two-seater aerobatic glider with fixed undercarriage and conventional tail unit.
From [Margański's page]: The first presentation of this glider was arranged at the World Glider Aerobatic Championships in Venlo, Netherlands, 1993, where Jerzy Makula won the World Championship flying on FOX. Just after the Championships the promotion flights were arranged to enable top pilots to fly on the glider. Similar promotion action took place in Germany and Austria in October 1993. Over following years FOX also achieved many successes at other international sports events.
