Ghostbuster by Flight Design

The Ghostbuster is a hybrid rigid-wing model recently designed by, and soon to produced by, Flight Design, and is the predecessor model to the Axxess and the successor to the Exxtacy, also by Flight Designs.

It is similar to, and obviously influenced by, the Exxtacy and the ATOS. You may find more information on the Ghostbuster at the Flight Design website.
