Development
The Mü11 Papagei, (Parrot), was a Primary style training glider similar to the SG-38 but with a Mü Scheibe aerofoil section. The design was intended for beginner training and retained dimensions broadly comparable to established training gliders, while incorporating features such as a steel-tube wing pylon intended to absorb landing shocks and facilitate repairs.[2] Flight trials were carried out but there is very little information available. Only one photograph and a contemporary model survive. The photograph shows the pilots seat surrounded by a plywood nacelle.
