The 1926 Zögling was a simple lightweight glider for basic flight instruction. It was designed to start with rubber ropes, a common way to start a glider in the years short after WWI. It was designed by Alexander Lippisch.
On 27 December 1929 the Dutch Gliding Club was founded. For a few guilders, Theo E. Slot, an aircraft designer at the Pander Aircraft Factory, bought the construction rights to the Zogling glider and on 21 January 1930, the construction of this machine began. By April the PH-1 was completed and flew for the first time in Holland on 6 April, piloted by J. E. van Tijen. A record flight of 43 min 25 sec was made on 4 October with van Tijen at the controls.
