Type Werk.Nr Registration History
In March 1927, Fieseler and Espenlaub achieved the first glider tow starts at the Kasel airfield "Waldau". Even though it could not run smoothly, and in the end his machine (the E7, which had been converted from the E8 motor engine to a two-seat glider - see also http://retroplane.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5020) was damaged, "Espe" recognized the potential of this starting method.
However, his provisional "trailer plane" was too heavy. Since he had a correspondingly powerful towing machine with his E 11, he built a smaller and lighter glider in the next few months: the "Espenlaub-Anhänger 1 (EA)":
