This new type of glider prototype featured a wing-above-the-wing control system and was started in 1936 for a total cost of 130 RM. But no one seems to know if it was ever completed or what happened to it. It never participated in any glider competitions and any military applications from the new wing control system never appeared on Luftwaffe gliders during the war.
Another mystery aircraft of the Third Reich.
