1992-2003<\/b>
\nIn the early 90\u00b4s in a small hobbyshop owned by Karl D\u00e4uber in Enslingen, the first RC-1 kits designed by Ewald Trumpp were produced. It was called the KARAT 60 (1800mm wingspan).
\nEvery kit was produced by Karl, who was also Ewald\u2019s uncle, individually as per the customer\u2019s request, and he was very flexible with his versions: Fixed landing gear or retracts, 2-legs or 3-legs, raw kit or painted. Because he accommodated every customer\u2019s wish, the model became very popular. Due to the huge success of KARAT 60, Ewald Trumpp and Karl D\u00e4uber developed 2 additional sizes: KARAT 40 (1400 mm) and KARAT 20 (1200mm wingspan).
\nThe KARAT was first popular at the local club of Unterm\u00fcnkheim. Then because of its good design, soon in neighboring clubs, and later all of Germany, then across all Europe.
\nBut then the rules of F3A changed. Larger glow engines were allowed, which meant also that the planes needed to \u201cgrow up\u201c.
\nFrom that time until today, the rules of 2x2m and max weight of 5kg were set.
\nAs a result, the KARAT grew up as well.\u00a0During this winter, my father and his uncle sat together and designed the new KARAT 2000, so named because of the almost 2m wingspan.
\nBy this time, it had become the best selling airplane by Ewald Trumpp.
\nWorldwide sales were several hundred kits.\u00a0They were even sold in the USA.
\nWithout Facebook and the internet, this was quite a remarkable number.<\/p>\n

After KARAT, followed the models Turmalin, Zirkon and Spinell (all named after gemstones).
\nSpinell was probably the most mature and neutral of my father’s designs, with which he won his first, and only, German Championship in 2003.
\nUnfortunately this plane never made it into the hands of customers, because after Karl D\u00e4uber passed away in 2002, production was stopped.<\/p>\n

2015-2017<\/b>
\nAt the end of 2015 I started with the first sketches on my iPad for a new biplane design.
\nI didn\u00b4t want to reinvent the bipe, that\u2019s why I followed the common design with the canopy behind the top wing because I like it most.\u00a0Cooling for the Motor, ESC and battery is very important. Which is the reason for the large air intake at the front below the motor, and the even larger air outtake on the side of the fuselage between the wings, done in the style of Porsche motor vehicles.\u00a0Because I am a very big fan of the elegant lines \u00e0 la Porsche, my design should have a very clean and elegant line as well.<\/p>\n

After finishing the plane, we needed a name. The air outtakes were based on a special Porsche car, In my opinion the most beautiful car design in the present day.\u00a0I thought about naming the plane as one of the Porsches or something very similar.
\nBut then THE idea came to my mind!
\nI decided to pay tribute to the success and popularity of my father\u2019s earlier design, and hence the model was given the name KARAT biplane<\/strong><\/p>\n

Together with my team we created in 2 years with a lot of tests and changes our \u201edream biplane\u201c and finished it in time right before the World Championships in Argentina 2017.<\/p>\n
