Engine: Comment: The RS-15 has an innovative pod-and-boom desgin which originally was intended to convert into various configurations, with wingspans of from 13 to 20 m. being matched with booms o suitable length, two-place pods, etc. In the event, Schreder decided to go with the basic 15 m. single-seat version featuring a fiberglass cockpit pod and a six-inch-diameter tube for the boom. The wing is similar to that used for the HP-16. A number of significantly modified RS- 15ﾒs have been built including Otto Zaunerﾒs One Yankee with his own design of fuselage and tailplane.             Your Comments:
