Schreder RS-15

The RS-15 is a Richard Schreder-designed metal Racing Class sailplane that was offered as a kit for homebuilding during the 1970s and 1980s. Unlike Schreder's other designs which are all designated HP (for High Performance) the RS-15 takes its nomenclature from the designer's initials and its wingspan in metres.
