Pützer Elster
Trainer
The Pützer Elster is a single-engine two-seat trainer and touring aircraft produced by the German manufacturer Alfons Pützer KG Flugzeugbau. The Pützer Elster, especially the version Elster C was also used as a glider tug aircraft.
Main operator with 24 Pützer Elster was the West-German Air Force (Luftwaffe). The Pützer Elster is a development of the experimental Pützer Motorraab (Moraa), which itself is a motor-powered development of the glider (Schempp-Hirth) Doppelraab. The Elster B is powered by a Continental C-90-12F or -14F engine and the Elster C by a more powerful Lycoming O-320-A2B (110 kw / 148 hp).
