RR if you mean the Flying Flea-looking thingy, it's a no.

And I apologize an error in a clue: The duckling was a predecessor - this one is a sort of beetles.

Morning Mate,

Not German.

A relatively prolific designer.

Are you sure about the weight?

If the designer was fairly prolific, it points me towards the USA.

I am positive about the weight. This has been called the smallest of the gliders.

Not USA.

Relatively prolific means about a dozen .
