The Göppingen Gö 3 Minimoa was a one-man sailplane produced in Germany. It was designed by Martin Schempp and Wolf Hirth and was produced the year after their first glider, the Göppingen Gö 1. It first flew in 1936. The name is derived from the föhn wind in Sudentenland called the Moazagotl. 'Mini' is a diminuitive.
It was made out of wood and fabric with cantilevered 'gull' wings. A B version in 1938 had thinner wings with a modified section and the gull's kink in a different place. The undercarriage was non-retractable. It was the first glider built to carry water-ballast.
