DFS Hol’s der Teufel
The history of this type, whose Czech name is “Take the devil”, begins in 1923 and is associated with the German designer Alexander Lipisch.
This was a simple 1933 glider for basic flight instruction. It was designed for being launched by rubber ropes. It was single seat – so there was no room for a flight instructor.
In 1927, this type was slightly modified and several pieces were produced by the beginning German company Alexander Schleicher.
This glider was used for basic training of sailors in gliding groups, where many dozens of pieces were produced by amateurs not only in Germany but also in the Czech Republic. According to surviving reports from the 1930s, this glider sailed in Bohemia, Olomouc, Konice na Moravě, Zlín, Valašské Meziříčí, Moravská Ostrava, 3 examples in Přerov and Jindřichův Hradec.
In the autumn of 2002, the German brothers Achim and Gerhnard Maleschka joined forces with veterans Jiří Leník and Jan Krejčí, and with the help of other fans of historical gliding, parts were created in Germany and the Czech Republic and assembled in the workshops of Aeroclub Raná during the second half of the year.
On Sunday, May 2, 2004, Jiří Leník from Aeroclub Raná ceremoniously flew the replica of the German historical glider “Hols der Teufel” from 1927 at the Rana airport.
In the future, it will be operated alternately in the Czech Republic (Na Rané) and in Germany by its German co-owners.
