With the support of DVL, the Flugtechnische Fachgruppe Prag was founded , and not long after, from 1941, the company Flugtechnische Fertigungsgemeinschaft GmbH Prag in Prague-Letňany. It is often referred to under the abbreviation FGP , but is also known under the abbreviation FFG . It was located in low buildings on the edge of the area towards Prague belonging to the FVA . (Taken from the Central Pilot School of the RČS Aeroclub ) (?). Dipl. Ing. Ludwig Karch also became the company's technical manager.

The new company was involved in the production of parts for school gliders, supplying various smaller aircraft parts to other manufacturers. It became a kind of manpower reservoir, for example for neighboring Letov.
FGP was awarded the production of serial Akaflieg München Mü 17 Merle gliders , for the needs of the Segelflugsportgruppen der Luftwaffe . In September 1941, the production of 47 gliders was commissioned. 12 gliders were to be built this month.
As part of the Blohm @ Voss BV 238 project , the company was ordered to build a flying model of this aircraft in a scale of 1:3.75 under the designation FFG FG 227 . The construction work was directed by engineer Ludwig Karch, who led a team of Czech technicians and students. The aircraft was to have a two-man crew consisting of a pilot and a flight engineer. Take-off from ground bases was to be made possible by a three-wheeled landing gear thrown after take-off. Propulsion was provided by six two-stroke ILO FL-2/400 engines with a power of 15.4 kW. The "BQ+UZ" model was completed in 1944 and subsequently transferred to E-Stelle in Travemünde, where it performed several test flights.
By 1944, 60 gliders were produced.
Then the production of school gliders SG 38 .
