The original DFS Weihe was designed in 1938 by H. Jacobs of the German Research Institute for Gliding (DFS). The Weihe was intended to outperform the Rhönadler, which was very popular at the time. Incidentally, the wing profile was taken from the Heron. This model is a very nice lasercut wooden kit in finest quality.

The model can be built either as a glider or an electric glider. The installation of electric spoilers is possible at your own discretion.
