The SCS-1 is built predominantly from aluminium. It features a V-tail and a three-piece wing with a NACA 33012 airfoil. The spoilers are located in a hatch that is behind the canopy.[1][2][4]
The SCS-1 has been flown on several recreational 200 mi (322 km) out and return and triangle flights.[2]
In June 2011 the aircraft was still registered with the Federal Aviation Administration to Steinruck, 52 years after its completion.[3]
