The Lommatzsch factory of the Volkseigener Betrieb Flugzeug (Association of the People's Aircraft Enterprises) was responsible for glider design and production in the DDR.

The Favorit has a high wing with a 6-series NACA laminar flow airfoil, straight tapered in plan.

This was built in two pieces around a single spar at 40% chord with a pine and honeycomb supported plywood skin, linked by a central section integrated with the fuselage.

Tail surfaces are straight and tapered, with a sweep on the fin but none on the rudder, which extends to the keel.

Horizontal surfaces are mounted on top of the fuselage, forward enough for the rudder hinge to be ahead of the elevator trailing edge.
