its a little beauty, and clear to see their airplane manufacturing background !

the Messerschmidt also had a 4 wheel version it seems, and a ragtop to



btw did you understand the german spoken in the gogo mobile vid clip you posted ? the owner, who does a little spin at the start of the clip, had replaced the original engine with a nitro methane powered one that produces more then 10x the original power (and peaks at 12000 rpm)

The 4-wheeled Messerschmitt was actually a FMR (Fend-Messerschmitt-Roller) TG1, called "Tiger", and had a 490ccm 2-stroke engine with 19,5 hp, approx 290 - 320 were build.
The name "Messerschmitt" wasn't used then anymore.
There was a english company, Tri-Tech, that until 2009 sold kits for 2650 bp or ready build replicas, called "schmitt" for 8800 bp.

I can read some German but spoken german is beyond me However I realized it was a modified Goggomobile when I saw the Yamaha motorcycle engine on the Dyno.
