It later went to the Deutsches Segelflugmuseum at Wasserkuppe who rebuilt it as the Ho-33V-1 in its original glider configuration

D-4686 was built by Walter Schneider, first flight 19-Apr-1964. In 2004 it was handed over to the Deutsches Segelflugmuseum at Wasserkuppe. This was the second of the two D-36s built and differed from V-1 by having a parachute brake instead of spoilers. The D-36 was one of the first glassfiber sailplanes. V-1 won the German National Championships in 1964 and became second in the World Championships in 1965

The original registration of this glider is not known, but it was built in 1938. After the war it was captured by British forces and it became RAFGGA521 with the Royal Air Force Germany Gliding Association. In Apr-1972 it became BGA1711. In 1974 it went to the Deutsches Segelflugmuseum at Wasserkuppe. There it was painted as D-12-354. In the circle on the fin should be a swastika, but in Germany it is legally not allowed to show that.

In 1957 it was converted by Kurt Schauer to a Ka-1M motorglider with a Lloyd LS-400 engine but due to problems in obtaining a permit the development was abandoned. In 1980 it went to the Deutsches Segelflugmuseum at Wasserkuppe.

The Rhönadler was designed for Schleicher by Hans Jacobs and first flew in 1932. It became the first series-built high-performance glider in the world. Schleicher built 65 in total and an unknown number were built by gliding clubs and individuals. The last one built is the one shown here, built by Klaus Heyn from 1983 to 1986. It went to the Deutsches Segelflugmuseum at Wasserkuppe painted to commemorate D-GÜNTHER GROENHOFF from the 1930s.

This is a replica of the very first rocket-engined aircraft in the world. The original Ente was built as a glider and made its first flight in Jun-1927. It was converted as the Raketen-Ente and as such flew on 11-Jun-1928, first with two 12 kg rockets and in the end with two 20 kg ones. The rockets were ignited after a bungee launch. It then flew 1400m in one minute. On a later flight the same day the aircraft caught fire but a safe landing could hastily be made. In Oct-1928 it was exposed at the ILA Berlin. The non-airworthy replica was built by the Deutsches Segelflugmuseum.

This is a replica of the very first rocket-engined aircraft in the world. The original Ente was built as a glider and made its first flight in Jun-1927. It was converted as the Raketen-Ente and as such flew on 11-Jun-1928, first with two 12 kg rockets and in the end with two 20 kg ones. The rockets were ignited after a bungee launch. It then flew 1400m in one minute. On a later flight the same day the aircraft caught fire but a safe landing could hastily be made. In Oct-1928 it was exposed at the ILA Berlin. The non-airworthy replica was built by the Deutsches Segelflugmuseum.

The Rhönsperber was designed for Schweyer by Hans Jacobs and the prototype made its first flight in Mar-1935. The aircraft on the photo was built somewhere between 1935 and 1938 and its cn and original registration are unknown. It later became D-6262 until cancelled in Jul-1970. Then it went to Sammlung Welzhofer in Günzburg until acquired by the Deutsches Segelflugmuseum at Wasserkuppe. To commemorate the first prototype D-Rhönsperber from 1935 the museum painted it in that aircraft's contemporary markings (except for the text on the fin).

Ferdinand Schulz built his FS-3 in 1922. He took part in the Rhön 1922 meeting but the technical commission did not allow him to fly in the contest for lack of structural rigidity. However, two years later, on May 18, 1924, he set a new world endurance record of 8 hours and 42 minutes with it. Unbelievable that somebody could sit on such a small seat for such a long time, unprotected against the cold wind, and without having eaten anything! The aircraft shown here is a replica built in 1975 by Klaus Heyn
