MD3-160 Swiss Trainer with a wingspan of 3,500 mm, scale 1:2.8
The MD3-160 Swiss Trainer is a prototype developed by MDB Flugtechnik AG and bears the registration HB-HOH. It is a two-seater all-metal aircraft designed specifically for pilot training.
A distinctive feature of the aircraft is its modular design. The five main components of the wings are interchangeable between the left and right wings. Furthermore, the same component is used a total of nine times for the elevator, ailerons and rudders, as well as the lift-enhancing devices.
In 1993, all rights to the aircraft were sold to Malaysia. Series production then took place there for the Malaysian and Indonesian air forces.
