MÍRA 3 - 1924

Hi, it is wonderful masterpiece.
Enjoy flights of this bird.

I only have one question. I am afraid, you have wrong Czech flag on the right side of the rudder. Look at pictures of planes of the same age. The right flag is usually mirrored. Like flag at Avia BH-3, or BH-21 for example

Maybe I am wrong, but it seems to me weird.

Happy landings!

Hoo shit very strange the mirroring, I believed that the blue was always at the left of the flag, I will search other exemples

[VincentB]

you are right, shame on me blue is always forward

I was surprised by flight video. I suppose, that problems with an original in 1924 were caused by positive twist on wings. Your model flies excellent. Congratulation !

I think that on the full size, the weather condition at the slope was bad, and pilot pulled always on the elevator. These pioneers was very brave

Hi everyone,

You have given me a great help with photos, early to my project of Mira

in the book "Bezmotorová letadla v Ceskoslovensku 1918 - 1939" I love many gliders, especially the Nitra 3 with a fuselage in tube

Someone have links or historical photos of this glider? I don't find anything on the web

I don't know yet if I will build it, but if I find more photos, that motivate me

Very, very nice...

Yes I know this video, the full size flew less well than the model
