With this model we are opening a new chapter at PCM. Fritz is our first flying wing in series. Many thanks to Fritz Koch for his inspiration and support! Here are a few impressions from test flying the prototypes: Video. More technical info in the building instruction (pdf-file).

The year 2020 is a special year in many respects, also for PCM.

Markus used the compulsory break of the shutdown during spring to pursue a long-cherished dream, for which he has never taken time. Half a year and a few prototypes later we can proudly announce:

The first flying wing from PCM is born!

 Our new model is called FRITZ and has a wingspan of 1.5 meters. This extraordinary plane with the spectacular flight image takes your flying experience to a new level.
