Blohm & Voss BV215 for PSS

[MattyB]

That is beautiful - great job! Time to find some very long grass for the CG test glides! Good luck...

Hello Harry. I have plans for the 215, for depron. Don’t want to mess them up though! How do I make the templete for bulkheads, ribs?

[Andy Meade]

Trace them onto greaseproof paper? Photocopy then cut out and stick onto balsa? Many ways to skin that cat.

As with many of the often called secret German aircraft of the latter part of WW2, the majority did not exist at all.

Most are described as Brochure Tender documents, mainly for specifications issued by the RLM (Reich Luft Ministrium).

In a sense there is no absolute right, as even those that made it to mock-up, such as the Fw Flitter would have been modified in the light of requests primarily of the the RLM.

Great models though.

You could take them down to your local copy shop and make a copy and expand them in size.

I did this with my Sorcerer plan which I copied to a stick and then had enlarged and printed - making this

from this.

Interesting stuff Erflog. Yes a lot of modelling potential from the Luft '46 proposals and many RC models have flown successfully. I have been picking away at a PSS Flitzer glider which should be a good flyer I think with a layout similar to the Vampire.

Kiwikid how can I get the plans for this plane?

[KiwiKid]

No plans sorry, it's a scratchy built off three views and info on websites like this one: **LINK**

[onetenor]

Great job Would love to do a ducted I/C version.

[Rich Bailey]

Where did you find the fuselage?

[Rich Bailey]

Would like to use a 90 mm 12 blade EDF

[KiwiKid]

The fuse, booms and canopy are hand made one offs.

Getting a bit more back on track, this is an inspiring vid of the maiden flight of a well presented EDF 215. Some initial teething problems are overcome and lead to a great flight.
