The WA-81 Piranha was a three seat variant of the
Wassmer WA-80 Piranha (6 built). These were developed as smaller
versions of the Wassmer WA-51 Pacific and were also of glass fibre
construction. A small number remain active. This was the last design by
Wassmer which went into liquidation in 1977, to be replaced by Issoire
Aviation in 1978 who acquired the assets of Wassmer and continued to
build gliders.
