Scale 1: 3,5
acrobatic oldtimer glider

These pictures were kindly shot by Jörg Kukla
at the Hahnweide oldtimer meeting in September 2005,
where this fullsize Habicht showed several very nice acrobatic displays.

Christoph Zahn was at the controls, his father and grandfather do the ground assistance.

The fullsize Habicht was manufactured by this family-  A GREAT JOB!
