Some History

ANDRE VON SCHOENEBECK was born with aviation in his genes and was always destined to fly. His father was a fighter Pilot in World War I in the famous Baron von Richthofen squadron and ultimately became a General in the Luftwaffe in WW II. Having a mammoth interest in anything that flies he studied Aeronautical Engineering in Munich, Germany.

Andre reached his pinnacle in the competitive field of large-scale radio controlled gliders. In that rarefied atmosphere of precision, tolerance is measured in microns and mass in grams. He manufactured 13 different model designs, which were known all over the world. He is famous for his patented unique method of vacuum mould construction. Having been successful with the gliders the next step came naturally, the Bateleur.

The Bateleur is a new generation of Ultra Light Aircraft with design characteristics for beyond the Millennium. The aircrafts ?Concept? is the same as used on most modern combat aircraft. Its structure and design puts it at the forefront of this rapidly developing field of aviation.
