Pig Soooiiieee!!
Despite other projects, I couldn't help but open this one up.
The Me-163 Komet was a German rocket powered aircraft during World War II. It had mixed success; it was difficult to fly and operate, and was not as affective against allied bombers as hoped.
But it did function, and had a few victories. It was flown by JG400, the only German fighter squadron to operate the aircraft.
This is a mainly EPO foam model, that uses a rocket motor to go up, and glide back down (similar to the real aircraft). The model requires RC control, and will likely be a bit tricky to fly.
Just playing around, I assembled the model (no glue), as shown below. Has a 30 inch wingspan, using a D3-P motor.
