Default Super Sicroly II

Hi,

I have gathered some info on Hanno Prettner Super Sicroly II - 3rd at F3A World Champion 1973, 1st place at Tournament Of Champions (TOC) 1974 etc.
If You have any pictures, any interesting information, personal experience building/flying Super Sicroly II please share it here in this thread.

I have so far gathered VTH/FMT drawing(s) of Super Sicroly II, found some pictures here and there and last found (after long search) a new in box MK Super Sicroly II (sold by Simprop in Germany but manufactured by MK) that I post a picture of below if anyone want to see such kit.
If anyone have Model Airplane News (MAN) construction article of Super Sicroly II it would be very nice to have that in this thread. I have not MAN drawing of Super Sicroly II but if anyone have that it would be nice to compare with VTH/FMT (FlugModel-Technik) drawing and MK drawing that I post pictures of below. What drawing of these 3 is closests to Hanno Prettners built Super Sicroly II is hard to tell I guess.

Some specifications Super Sicroly II:

VTH/FMT and MK drawing:
Wingspan: 160 cm (63 inch)
Length: 138,5 cm (54.5 inch)
Wing area: 43 dm2 (667 sq. inch)
Weight 3400-3600 gram (7.5-8 lbs)
Engine: 10cc (60)
Channels: 5-6 withlanding gear - flaps
Design: Hans and Hanno Prettner
Colors: Light blue and white with red and yellow trim, bottom of fuselage dark blue, wing&stab underside dark blue

Equipment Hanno Prettner had with his Super Sicroly II at WC 1973:
Radio: Simprop Alpha 2007/7
Engine: Webra Speed F 61 RC
Retracts: (I have not found what make and model he used, but KDHmecanical gear is mentioned in RCM&E construction article)

As far as I have researched Hanno Prettner entered WC 1971 with Super Sicroly Iand that plane developed toSuper Sicroly II to 1973 WC and was also used at TOC 1974 (in 1975 he had Curare at WC and probably at TOC 1975 also).

Hope this information and pictures belowwill be of help to others.
And as I wrote - fill in with more information You have on Super Sicroly.
When I will build a Super Sicroly II is not decided finally and I have not decided if I will build from VTH, MK or MAN plan, or maybe I will build the MK kit...(but that feels little hard to do considering it can not be many left in new untouched condition).

In this post and some more below I post pictures of MK Super Sicroly II kit and drawing.
Nextis pictures of VTH Super Sicroly II drawing.
Then some pictures from WC1973 and last post some pictures from TOC1974.
