Gomolzig Flugzeugbau GmbH - Manufacturers of the Calif (previously made by Caproni). In 1952 the Gomolzig company was founded as an engineering office with 8 employees. As soon as soaring was allowed again in 1954 in Germany our company started with the production of the glider M? 13E and Grunau Baby V. Later on the prototype construction of the RW-3, a single engined cruising plane, retractable three leg landing gear and a porsche engine positioned in the back of the cabine with the propeller installed inside the rudder driven by shaft. At the beginning of the seventies Gomolzig designed, developed and manufactured the cabin of the WDL airship and four units were produced. The approvment as a aeronautical engineering company of production and reconditioning by LBA took place at this point of time. In cooperation with Rhein-Flugzeugbau we worked at Sirius I and II projects and proceeded test-flights with ducted fans on a Blanik and Calif. Due to noise problems coming up at our "own" airfield the Gomolzig company developed in 1973 a modified silencing exhaust system on a Cessna FR 172. The "Quietflight" system was born and further installed to Remorqueuer-DR 400 and PA 18. In 1977 Peter Gomolzig recieved his test-pilot-licens. With the help of Gomolzig company Rhein-Flugzeugbau developed the Fantrainer in 1978. It has been our part to develop and produce an retractable three leg landing gear, pilotseats and several components. About 50 units of each had been produced. Another examiner with classes 1 to 4 entered the comany in 1979. In 1982 the name Gomolzig engineering office was changend into Gomolzig Flugzeug- und Maschinenbau GmbH. In 1988 another three improved units of airship cabines were produced. In 1989 the german regulations of airplanes-noise-emmission were published by LBA. As a result of this discussions about silencing- exhaust-systems increased and Gomolzigs existing knowledge about silencer design was well needed. This area became one of the most important working fields in our company 1994 Gomolzig company got into contact with Extra Flugzeugbau Dinslaken and they engaged Gomolzig to design, develop and produce a retractable undercarriage for the new six-seater-cruising plane EA 400. Besides this two metal-gliders Calif A 21S were manufactured. In 1995 Gomolzig Flugzeug-und Maschinenbau GmbH got the certification of JAR 145, a sign for a high grade of quality in engineering and manufacturing. The LBA approval for an aeronatical-development company is applied and will be recieved hopefully at the end of 1996. Since the middle of the sixties the structural repair of metal-cells for gliders as well as airplanes increases up to nowadays. Camera modification is a special part of this area. Since 1990 Gomolzig is in contact with Eurowings General Aviation and sharing maintanance and repair in the hangar at Dortmund airport. During all that development the Gomolzig company had been a competent partner for general aviation and associations -in our company pilots work for pilots needs. Due to the membership of several employees to local associations and clubs we always help and add the associations in workshops and projects they can not fullfill on their own.
