However, a tender was placed by the air forces with the profile change of the MWG, and production rights were eventually granted to the Uhry brothers' factory (originally a small private vehicle body manufacturer, which later expanded rapidly and become a very successful competitor to elder corporations).

The plane bases on the remaining blueprints and the project partly uses contemporary parts (original Hirth HM 504A–2 engine, instruments, and so on) and retains the original HA-LEB registration mark. The test flight program was successfully completed at the end of 2019 and the excellent flight performance of the aircraft was demonstrated during these flights.
