Hi David...good to see you back online
Was the company originally Austrian?
. Not that I'm aware of.
Are we annoying Ken?
No way mate, I'm enjoying it
So you want some help...

Consider it a training aid!

Not St Louis RD, nor General or Schweizer.

Just had another obtuse thought.

Was it full-scale and made of wood?

Remembering, even with a manufacturer, we still have to find a project that was never built.

Laister-Kauffman
Is he German Reg?
Dunno that but they made a sailplane that was used for training, and the Trojan.

I think LM has a target drone in mind....

Culver PQ-14?

LM, your obtuse thought is on the right track. A model was made but I can't see whether or not it was full scale. I suspect it was not. It would appear to be made, in part at least, of wood.

Well if he does, he's right on the right track still. This was designed as a target

And its not a Culver...!

Yes, although it seems others have forgotten that!

That's exactly what I have had in mind, and it's nothing like a Culver.

Betcha somebody other than me is now going to get it...

Just for clarity, I corrected my previous post....I said "target" not "target drone".

Here's a photo of it....you see Graeme, its got virtually the same cockpit that you drew



Not a QQ-2 Graeme

I think it was designed to be towed.
