I think the speed was to high at that time and the position from the pilot is not good. The next point is that the MG is in a bad Position to rech from the Pilot.

Now the turnbuckles and eyelets are ready.
All eyelets are glue to the model also the first turnbuckles.

Hello Martin,

This is a greater progress then it seems. Well done. Your turnbuckles seem very good. Not easy isn't it?
Do you know the speed of this floh and other performance details?

Kind regards
Patrick

Patrick thank you for your kindly words.
The engine was a Mercedes D.I with 100hp with 180 kph Speed. It gives no information about how high it flys.

With the bottom wing and tail in place it is looking really good, your eyelets are well done, it is a very interesting aeroplane.

Excellent workmanship, Martin.  The turnbuckles and anchors are very
well done. The Floh is coming along very well, my friend.

Cheers,
Ernie :)
