This is based on the 1/10 scale drawing held by the Deutsches Museum.

I've previously had contact with Nick but if anyone hasn't seen this, it's well worth a few minutes of your time. The modelling is just superb.

Coming along nicely this is the original Fl 282 on display at the Midland Air Museum at Coventry Airport, taken in 2018 that Nick mentions in his posts above.

Hopefully not too off topic and of some interest. Anton Flettner was born in Eddersheim, Germany. His grave, and also the house in which he was born, is there too. I live about 15 minutes from Eddersheim and, appropriately, fly RC helicopters in a sports hall nearby. The photo was taken 17th November 2023

Just as an aside.....I am also only 20 minutes away from Manfred von Richtofen's grave in Wiesbaden.

What are these ?, [...]

Generic descriptions. The "Flugschrauber" (gyrodyne) probably refers to the Fl 185. The "Hubschrauber" could apply to most of Flettner's designs. "Kleinsthubschrauber" (micro helicopter) may refer to the Fl 339 series.

The FI 185 and Fl 339 were mentioned before in the site,may they are a
projects based on them ?.

Hi,

[hesham]

From the PDF,which was discovered by mt dear Moin,

I think they meant here Fl.282 and not Fl.228 ?.

 

[Jemiba]

Probably ! This was before the invention of Tippex.
