the krauts did make some intriguing looking machines, it has to be said. and not all unpleasing to the eye, either.

Looks like it’s wearing one of those masks you see in Mad Max movies. Reminds me a bit of a Condor that’s been on a diet. Tail looks similar too

Getting it back on without busting it would be the trick.

Was it filled with hydrogen? I cannot think of any other explanation.

Yeah, OK.......but how did the ground crew wind up the elastic when the propeller was so high off the ground?

That reminds me of a model I made as a child of some WW1 comedy Red Baron thing.

It waited until the earth rotated then fell "up" into the air.

He couldn't. Throw in narrow-track wheels, and you have a disaster on landing. Never got beyond flight testing.
