Sport und Design Drachen

The plans in Sport ∓mp; Design Drachen are in German, and seems fairly easy to follow and understand, even without much knowledge of German, as they have been illustrated with drawings and photos.
The magazine is bi-monthly.

New plans

I haven't been subscribing to Sport und Design Drachen since Spring 1995, so no doubt there have been several new plans since then.

Plans in chronological order

Be-Be-165

Sport und Design Drachen, issue 3/93 (July-Sept. '93)

A dart with scalloped tailing edge. Looks similar to a Team High Fly PRO/AM with a higher cut TE.

255 x 105 cm (100 x 41 inch)

Remark: I don't have this issue so the information is based on references in a latter issue.

Bayern

Sport und Design Drachen, issue 4/93 (Oct-Dec. '93)

An updated Hawaiian Team Kite: faster, silent and carbonfiber frame. Uses air-pockets in the tailing edge to silence it.

233 x 101 cm (92 x 40 inch)

Hot Sock

Sport und Design Drachen, issue 2/94 (Mar/Apr. '94)

A small delta with S-shaped TE. It has a carbonfiber rod in the outer part of the TE to act as silencer and stand-off. Very similar in shape, size and construction to a Far Out! Miami Cut. Supposed to have twice the pull of a similar sized Speedwing.

132 x 52 cm (52 x 21 inch)

Flughund (Flying Dog)

Sport und Design Drachen, issue 5/94 (Sept/Oct. '94)

Full-size dart with deeply chopped off nose (88 cm/35 inch wide at the top), double scalloped TE, one set of battens, and appliqued to look like a giant bat/flying dog.

260 x 87 cm (102 x 34 inch)

Desmodus R.

Sport und Design Drachen, issue 5/94 (Sept/Oct. '94)

One more quad-line kite with a bat shape, this time a very sinister looking bat.

280 x 114 cm (110 x 45 inch)
