Single seat, powered by gravity :)

Decided to come back for a last look...is it the FVA-2 Blaue Maus?

Or if not, the FVA-1 Schwarze-Teufel?

Edit to say....looking closer I would say the FVA-1?

Ditto, to see if there were any answers :) !

It is indeed the FVA-2 Blaue Maus :D Well, it was a development of the FV-1, they are very similar (and I think some of the photos may be mis-labelled)!!

Natty construction involved:

Very interesting article on it's designer, quite an extraordinary career Wolfgang Klemperer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

skytrain10 has control Edited to say skytrain has requested an Open House. Sleep well :ok:

Thanks Trevor, must admit wasn't too sure. I found a picture of the FVA-1 from a similar, but not identical, angle which looked about right. But as you say they are very similar.

Am just about to hit the hay so will have to be Open House. If no one has stepped in overnight I'll have one ready for the morning.

Good night.

Am I likely to see Karlark tonight? Probably not.

Second opinion anyone? If confirmed by someone else, you guys can then move on as I'll make it open house...?

If correct, open house.

Lightning Mate 1st Nov 2011 10:43

No doubts at all mate - not many tails like that around.

Karlark 1st Nov 2011 10:45

:ok: Very good, Noyade!

Noyade has requested Open House.
