Platzer Motte

The Platzer Motte (English: Moth) is a German amateur-built aircraft designed by Michael Platzer and made available in the form of plans for amateur construction.

[1][2] The Motte features a strut-braced parasol wing configuration, single-seat open cockpit with a small windshield, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.

[1][2] The aircraft uses the same wing design as the Platzer Kiebitz biplane.

The Motte's fuselage is made from metal tubing, with its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric.

[1][2] Pilot access can be difficult due to the proximity of the wing mounted close above the cockpit.
