Back after an unexpected delay.

The answer to both the above questions is no.

I'll have to go again but only for 25 minutes, then I'll be back until cease work.

The deigner was very well known......

Hello all!
I can't imagine what purpose could a gliding UAV possibly serve...
I'm curious as to the payload (multi-mission? photo equipment? is it a glomb?)

The designer og this machine specialised in flying wing designs.

That should narrow it down to one of two people.

When I think of all the history involved in RPVs, and drones, I get all teary-eyed and nostalgic... They are just so gosh darned interesting aren't they?

I would like to see it gone too, but in a different way. I'd prefer not to see cruise missiles, drones, RPVs and the like on this thread, but that is only my picayune preference. .

Cannot edit.

Edit: Aah! now it works!
Found correct picture now, also... nice site that one.
And well done TC

Everyone is having problems with the edit function - it ain't your machine.

That's why you will see posts in rapid succession from some of us.

Oops, woke up from my nap and the challenge was gone. Checked my other open net pages and found out that have always gone wrong in into the site. It does not give Storch 7 at the front site (yes it gives Storch "IIV" - whatever that is - but it is not the 7). Well good. It got better attention than only mine would have been.
