And what about the ME 163?

Seems I saw a site that was making reproductions of
those too, none flying as yet I think.

Not using T-stoff etc, but modern propellents.

Fly the ME 163? Love to see their insurance. It'd sure have to be a new fuel mix for me to fly it. One of the more morbid accounts I've read of the flight tests was a situation where the tank somehow ruptered while the pilot was in the cokpit. By the time the crew got to him, he was nothing but bones. An organic material had been disintegrated by the corrosive fuel.
