The full-size "Fauvel AV 36" was developed in France in 1951 as a single-seat sailplane, and gained
an excellent reputation even then for its outstanding flying qualities and unprecedented level of in-
herent stability. Distance flights of 500 kilometres were not uncommon. The "AV-361" presented here
in model form was introduced in 1960 as a further development of the "AV-36"; the main differences
were its greater wingspan and improved airfoil.
