Klemm L25-1a Q-AAXK showing the cockpit openings in the top of the fuselage only, with sloping windscreens to direct the airflow.

Scheller's first monoplane had a thick section wing and cantilever undercarriage legs. The 3-cyl Statax engine by F J M Hansen of Koln (Cologne) had been produced for low-powered light aircraft developed from gliders.

Pushed out complete, the SIV-32b in prototype form shows the wheel covers and fairings, looking like spats in side view. The front head fairing is as originally tapered.

Repainted, the modified prototype shows hand-holds under the wing for use during wing folding.

From the top as numbered:
1. With tail up and supported on a drum, the sealing strips over the wing joints stand out as they have not yet been tightened up.
2. Head-on view from the last issue shows the large wing span, uncowled 7-cyl radial engine and fixed undercarriage attached at the ends of the centre section and braced to the fuselage.
3. From the rear the large span glider-like wing with very little dihedral is evident, also the angular elevators with balanced tips and vee cutout for rudder movement.

The prototype with mainplanes folded for towing by car, also shows the tapered front head fairing and pointed wheel fairings which were soon removed.

Seen under construction, the SIV-32b was Scheller's second aircraft, orthodox except for the pointed fairings behind the wheels. The rear cockpit instrument panel is seen with the ASI in the tunnel-type head fairing.

This close-up, although taken from a low position, still shows well the large cockpit cutouts without windscreens and the strange 3 section headrest system.

The SIV-32b, wings folded, as first modified and painted. The front head fairing is now full section with a filler cap, probably for a gravity tank, and the wheel fairings have been discarded.

A three-quarter front view shows the spoked wheels and high pressure tyres, 5 ft 10.8 in. wheel track, vee strut bracing and sleeves on the main legs covering the rubber cord suspension.

The new paint scheme has the SIV-32b designation, Scheller S logo and location Celle moved from the front fuselage to the rudder. The arrow and swastika trim is quite striking and the inset step on the fuselage is emphasised by highlighting,

A second photo in the snow shows the wing folding from the front. The small propeller for the air-driven fuel pump can be seen just below and ahead of the starboard wing root.

The crashed Scheller SIV-32b showing much of the detail previously described, but compare the cockpits with the Klemm L25.
