I had no idea that an airworthy Me-163 replica had been built. Wow! Now that would be something to see at an airshow. Obviously, it isn't rocket powered, but it was designed as a glider from the onset, so this would at least be a relatively safe way to see one fly. Not sure about the landings though... I've heard that the skid failed pretty regularly (Rudy Opitz and Hanna Reisch being at least two victims of that unfortunate tendency). Thanks for posting.

Cheers,
Richard

Check for the wheel where the skid used to be.
