The M&D Flugzeugbau AVo 68 Samburo is a two-seat motor glider, first designed and manufactured in Austria. With numerous design changes - including modern Rotax engines, state of the art avionics, and aerotow capabilities - it is still in production by the company M&D Flugzeugbau[1] in Germany.
The aircraft is of typical motorglider configuration, with a tractor propeller and long, tapering wings. As originally designed, it also had sailplane-like undercarriage consisting of a single mainwheel and a steerable tailwheel; however, later versions have fixed taildragger undercarriage with two spatted mainwheels. The pilot and passenger sit side-by-side.
