Which was the Me 163 built by Mitsubishi using the aircraft's manual. Due to the loss of the U Boat sent from Germany carrying a Me163 along with the drawings whilst on route to Japan.
A glider version was designated MXY8 Akigusa (Autumn Grass), and was built by the Dai-Ichi Kaigun Koku Gijitsusho (First Naval Air Technical Arsenal) at Yokosuka

On behalf of Phil, who has retired for the night down under, it is Jon Johanson's RV-4 but not VH-JON (write letters wrong order) it was VH-NOJ.
