Hate to say this, Scale Police, but you're out of your jurisdiction here

I take it that you are not selling this as a scale plan then Chris

Re: DFS Habicht 1/4 scale
Well it must be scale then, would be nice to see one in the Turkish livery.
I have just completed a series of drawings of the Weltensegler (World Gliders) early gliders from 1919 - 1925 for a 'Customer', free as usual, but I don't think you will be creating models of these.

Hi Vince,
Interesting looking biplane glider! Did the full size actually fly?

Hi Vince,
I am tempted to ask for a copy of the drawings, just to have a go at building it. I reckon it would need a number of build iterations to get it to fly at all. 2.5m to 3m span might work.

Finally, a chance to maiden the Habicht. A weighty bird with 3.5lbs of lead up front (AUW15lbs) nevertheless a couple of short test flights showed a decent roll & loop capability and a very safe stall with the HQ35 sections...
