Horst Winkler was one the real pioneers of the German model flying sport. Already in 1931 he wrote the book "Das Hochleistungssegelflugmodell" (the high performance sailplane model). It this booklet was featured a plan for an unnamed large glider, which came to be known as "Der Grosse Winkler" (the large Winkler). The design was suitable for both slope soaring and high starts, and the plan was printed in several editions with slight changes and improvements.
