  Schempp-Hirth Flugzeugbau GmbH
The Wolf was named after Wolf Hirth, partner with Martin Schempp in the then new firm of Sportflugzeugbau Goppingen (now Schempp-Hirth).
Empty weight of the prototype is about 240 kg, and ramp weight of me about 100 kg, therefore we filled three liters of water into the tail tank, so the total weight during the flight was about 350 kg.
The elevator trim is the typical Schempp Hirth construction, a gear segment on the left side of the cockpit, basically the same construction as on the twenty five year old Janus.
