The Staaken Flitzer was designed to comply the restrictions of the the Versailles Treaty from between the wars. Today we can build replicas, thanks to the work of Lynn Williams. Lynn designed his, the Z-1 Flitzer, back in the nineties. It is an accepted type with the LAA in UK, and several Z-21 variants are flying. Others are in construction in UK, USA, Australia, and mainland Europe. Wingspan is 18', length 14' 9". gross weight around 750lbs. Power used today is generally VW based. The Aerovee is extremely well suited and popular for Flitzers. Jabiru 2200, UL260i and Rotec radials are also used.
I am building a new variant called the Z-1M Meteor. It looks very similar to the Swedish ASJA J6. It is a tiny bit smaller than the Z-1/21, and will very likely be a little faster.
