It was manufactured at Markranstädt, near Leipzig. It had a tiny engine, a Kroeber M-4 of only 18 hp, powering a Heine two bladed propellor. However it had only to lift a maximum all up weight of 330 kg (which included an extinguisher and parachute!). But despite this, it could achieve 120 km/hr in the air. It landed at 60 km/hr but almost on a postage stamp, its take off run being only 100 m and its landing run being even less at 60 m.
