SZD-59 v2.0

[French1]

As the project is back on the bench, time to resurrect the thread

From v1.0 I moved to V1.1 after a transmitter failure then to V1.2 after a tree in Cumberland didn't yield when I was coming on final for landing And finally I did push alittle too far the speed reaching VNE (Speed not to exceed) leading to a beautiful disintegration in the air.
