Grasshoppers/Daglings
They were really in the domain of the CCF and were flown/slid off some fairly short sites/playingfields,hence spent a lot of the time U/S due broken joints.
They were designed with the ability to have spoilers and control restrictions to prevent a steep climb/stall/prang situation.
When i saw where they were operated from i am not surprised most got a thumping.
However as is obvious when you see clips of them being operated (including assembly) it must have been fantastic fun even if you were not the pilot.
Methinks that two landrovers providing the 'manpower' would give the 'RUN' input the 'extra' zap needed.
A lot of Luftwaffe pilots got their first taste of flying in these type of machines!
