• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Thank you, Jim.

I believe that the SS.4 was flown twice, both by the same pilot. Apparently he enjoyed the first flight so much that he wanted a second - which was that in the course of which it crashed, killing him.

Now here's something less than sleek. We haven't had a motorglider for some time. This is an early example.

 
I can see from where you're coming, Uli. I doubt that there was a country in Europe that didn't produce a Zögling type glider in the twenties. I don't know if DFS produced a 'motorzögling' glider but, it it did, this is not it. This originated in a different European country and was the handiwork of someone who shared a name with a better known, and more prolific, constructor in a yet another European country!
 
Thanks Uli - running out of time tonight, so please excuse a recycling job - it's all the rage !

This rather smooth twin has been here twice before, but quite a few years ago, with a big gap in between.

Thanks, Mike, I fear all the Flamingos were scrapped after the program was terminated.

Here is something even more modern and in colour.
