Who would be nuts enugh to take on the task of restoring an old plane!
Ohh wait....
...some guys I know of, assembled this baby out of parts from all over Europe
I have seen the private barn, where it is kept among an impressive collection. The plane, field guns, motorbikes, cars, Kübelwagen and a tank, MK108 etc etc
A pleasant way to spend every Saturday for the rest of your life.....................!
(Gorgeous planes all of them !)

The Salamander He 162 was famous for being almost impossible to fly, even experienced pilots had trouble with the balance of the plane.
Imagine a wooden plane with a huge jet on top of you, add some highly flammable fuel, lots of ammo, and a weak undercarriage when landing.
No wonder there is no recorded victories from this plane.
I do hope when they make it fly again.. they would give them more reliable engines than the original Jumo bull shit engines.
Cheers
