The glider beneath the Zeppelin is I believe the Prasident.
What span is the Gottingen IV going to be ?

Yes Paul, it is indeed the President. Just put there to see if anyone was taking notice!!
Details of Gottingen scale below.

Didn't spot the dimension - many thanks.
Too big for my hill and too heavy for my back sadly !
Out of curiosity, have you found any photos of the instrument panel and cockpit interior ?

For late 2022 or early 2023, I am building a Scheibe SF33, with some minor mods to all hassle free grass take-offs.
Larger wheel, moved forward and slightly lower , as proved by Nigel Bentley-Beard on his SF33.

Waiting on delivery of a 3m RRG Storch V motorglider kit, which I hope will go together without much hassle. This will need a dolly for take-offs, having seen what a pusher prop did to a friends finger .

Superb !
For the Zepelin, as soon as I own a 38 tons truck, i'll build
LoL

I have just started a 16th, I think, H101 Salto from a Wilfried Klinger plan. It should be interesting as the detail on the plan is in German.

Also where the wing goes from full depth to the ailerons the ribs shown still go right up the the trailing edge. Not a lot to do on the fuz as it's GRP, epoxy I think? I just hope it doesn't take as long as my Habicht or I will be close to getting my telegram from our new King

Edit : - That should have read 1/6th scale. I was just re reading the thread and noticed the VERY small model!

Chris Williams Loravia Topaze (1:4.2). First build instalment is now online here:

You know that you are going to upset him, as yours will be lighter than his.....

Look forward to towing it up for it's maiden..

My Topaze is nearly done, wings to paint and a bit of fettling and she will be ready,

Looking good! You're well ahead of me - better slow down or you'll have to be transferred to the 2022 thread!
