  1. Hi, Piers, You asked for more deatails of my "Skyrider". Well, there is nothing extraordinary except the inverted gull wing. The outer wing panels and the tail feathers are oracovered. The centre part of the wing, the nose of the fuselage and the wheel pants are reinforced with light glass cloth. Skyrider plans are no longer available, but I still have the magazine with the article. Karl
  2. Two days ago my new "Skyrider" made a perfect maiden flight. It is based onSteve Buso 's design published in the April 1988 issue of "Flying Models". Span is 1500 mm and power is a OS 46 LA. Karl-Georg
  3. Hi Geoff, yes, I must admit it is a "fantasy scale" model based on Fred Reese`s " Golden Oldie" rc-biplane. My family had several DKW cars inb the 1950s and 60s with their typical 2 stroke engines. DKW stands for "Dampf Kraft Wagen" (steam powered car).The company belonged to Auto Union as well as Audi - watch the four rings in the logo on the fuselage. Karl-Georg
  4. This week I made some very successfull maiden flights with my new DKW Waldkauz (owl). It spans 1600mm, is finished in Coverall and rattle can paints with some acrylic weathering. Power is a 20 years old Tunder Tiger 91 four stroke. Karl-Georg
  5. Here is my BFW 23 which I scratch-built based on the 3-view above. It spans 2,24m and is powered by a Saito 72. I would not dare to call the full size M 23 a racer. A two-seater with a 80 hp Siemens engine is more a sports plane or a motor glider. Good luck with the project. Karl-Georg
