Template:Infobox aircraft The M&D Flugzeugbau AVo 68 Samburo is a two-seat motor glider, first designed and manufactured in Austria.
Design and development
The aircraft is of typical motorglider configuration, with a tractor propeller and long, tapering wings. As originally designed, it also had a sailplane-like undercarriage consisting of a single mainwheel and a steerable tailwheel; however, later versions have a fixed taildragger undercarriage with two spatted mainwheels. The pilot and passenger sit side by side. With numerous design changes - including modern Rotax engines, state-of-the-art avionics, and aerotow capabilities, it is still in production by the M&D Flugzeugbau company in Germany.
