In Germany in the eighties there was a smaller model aircraft kit manufacturer Eismann. He concentrated on gliders and F3A planes. One was the 'Cosmos' (very similar to Benito Bertolani's Kosmo 3) and the 'Schocker'. Known in Germany as the 'Eismann-Schocker'. Thanks to Erich Däubler for the photo of his 'Eismann-Schocker'. This shocker with floats was intended for water aerobatic competition use. It was powered by an OPS 60 Super 82 engine, the mounted propeller was a Bartels 11x8 fibreglass propeller. The photo was taken during a competition on Lago di Varese / Italy. 'shocker man

F3A training week on Malta 1980 (former RAF airstrip - during the week free for leisure activities of all kinds, at weekends "cordoned off area" only for model flying and supervised by police (one policeman always present) or "kept free" !!!!!) - in front Erich Daeubler's ‚Sultan-V‘ with AMT-retracts, Rossi 60Fi and Bartels 11x8 (noise didn't matter!) , then ‚Curare‘ with Webra-Speed 61, behind it ‚Eismann-Cosmos‘ by Erwin Müller (at that time a very good German F3A pilot and Aerobatic author). Thanks to Erich Daeubler for this photo from 1980.
