Heikkis' Silhouette Challenge

[Noyade]

too busy studyingNow that's interesting mate. Only the other day there was a report showing that Aussie kids are falling behind the rest of the world, "acacdemically." Hard to believe, I know. :)

Our Universities are full of overseas students.

I only have one decent "Bible of Boche Flying Machines"...?....

I only have one decent "Bible of Boche Flying Machines"...?....

It seems that you only need that one mate!! :D

It is the one-off Fieseler Fi 99 "Jungtiger" of 1937.

Noyade has control :ok:

[Noyade]

Thanks Trevor.

Lots of things happening today, you know the feeling, so I'll make it open house at this stage. Sleep as well as you can mate. :ok:

Cheers.

[SincoTC]

Thanks mate, have a good day, catchya later :ok:

I might even get to have an early night :)!!

[Noyade]

Morning/Afternoon David. :)

Saw this as a potential GIMP awhile back, the Weick W-1, I suspect? Have to be open house again if it is I'm afraid. Will hunt for some challenges tomorrow. Cheers.

Evening mate.

That's the one - pity about the OH.

Sleep well mate - catch you tomorrow. :ok:

Open House prevails.

[MReyn24050]

This one is almost a silhouette:-

[Lightning Mate]

Good afternoon Mel. :)

I have seen that somewhere in the past.

Japanese? Yokosho Navy Type Mo ?

[MReyn24050]

Good Afternoon David, this aircraft was not from Japan.

[skytrain10]

A Farman Mel? MF.7bis possibly?

[MReyn24050]

Ken It is a Farman my source has it as a Maurice Farman MF.VIII. However the various sources are not clear regarding this aircraft.
You have control

[skytrain10]

Thanks Mel:ok:

Here is the next challenge:
http://i551.photobucket.com/albums/ii457/kendyer/dc225a47.jpg

[Noyade]

Good evening Ken.

Is this a project? Never flew? First thought was the Potez 840, but there are differences.

[skytrain10]

Morning Graeme, yes a project, but not from France.

Offline for a while but will check in later.

[Noyade]

A Canadian Dash-7 proposal?

[skytrain10]

It was intended for the same market as the DHC-7 but no connection and its not Canadian. You are in the right part of the world though.

Edit to say closing down now. Usual rules apply:ok:

[Noyade]

You are in the right part of the world though.

USA?........

[skytrain10]

Just as I was about to switch off....yes USA:ok:

[Noyade]

Now, who in the USA would want to make something like that?

Beechcraft?

(Pre-empting - Goodnight mate. :ok:)

[irishair2001]

Unless i am mistaken,i am sure we had this before,as far as i can remember it was called something like General Aircraft Corp, GAC 2000,does that ring a bell with anybody?

[Lightning Mate]

Morning.:)

With only three prop blades per engine I assume fairly low power, so a piston and not a turboprop.

[skytrain10]

Morning....well, Irishair almost has it, but I cannot see that we have had it before. It is from General Aircraft, but it's not the GAC-2000.

Despite the 3 prop blades it was to be a turboprop. PT6A engines.

[Noyade]

Howdy Ken.

GAC-100?

[skytrain10]

Howdy yourself Graeme.

Yes it is the GAC-100. Looks like it got to the mock-up stage , but no further. Several references in Flight, including:
1969 | 3111 | Flight Archive (http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1969/1969%20-%203111.html)

Looks like GAC were also expecting some military interest judging by this model:

http://i551.photobucket.com/albums/ii457/kendyer/8ab2cb0a.jpg

I see it was mentioned in another forum, so maybe that's where you had the thought from Irishair? It had been incorrectly referred to as Australian!

Talking of Australia....Noyade has control:ok:

[Lightning Mate]

He's busy mate - on Challenge.

[Noyade]

that's where you had the thought from Irishair?

Just followed on from what Irishair said, and you saying it was the correct manufacturer but a different designation. Took a punt at around 1980 but the book mentioned the GAC-100, last entry was 1973.

Irishair did most of the work. What's the forum?

[Noyade]

Moving on...

http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/4631/guesso.jpg (http://img29.imageshack.us/i/guesso.jpg/)

[skytrain10]

The forum was Aviation History and Nostalgia! But not SC...it was entitled 'Regional jets that never made it"!

[Lightning Mate]

Was the challenge Russian?

[Noyade]

Was the challenge Russian?
No mate.....

'Regional jets that never made it"!

I think I remember that now. Fair time ago?

[Lightning Mate]

Then I think the manufacturer may well have been BTT.

[Noyade]

BTT

?

No, I don't think so.

BTT - What does BTT stand for? Acronyms and abbreviations by the Free Online Dictionary. (http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/BTT)

[Lightning Mate]

Barsteward Twin Tails

[Lightning Mate]

Polish....?

[Noyade]

I never liked geography.

It's German.

[Lightning Mate]

Surely it's not a Dornier?

[Noyade]

Not.......

[Lightning Mate]

Junkers....?

[Noyade]

Nein.......

[Lightning Mate]

I'll shoot for Heinkel then.

[Noyade]

You're shooting from the hip mate. Not a Heinkel.

Gonna be a slow progress. Do you want me to give you the manufacturer? :)

[Lightning Mate]

I'm just looking for long engine nacelles - or is it just a large maingear door?

[Noyade]

Well, from the picture I nicked from the net, it's all nacelle, but other photos are very dark and it's hard to tell. I doubt the cart could retract.

[Lightning Mate]

Fixed gear makes it older than I thought.

Pre-WW2?

[Noyade]

Let me run away and check....

Wiki says 1940.

And I sit corrected. Apologies....

retractable landing gear

[Lightning Mate]

No worries - back to square one.

[Noyade]

back to square one.

No! :(

GOTHA!

:)

[sabredog]

Gotha Go 241 ?

[Noyade]

Due only to your generous clue,Noyade.
I am afraid it must be ;
Open House

[Lightning Mate]

I should have given it more attention, but trying to answer this thread and "Challenge" at the same time ain't that easy.

But still, Graeme and I have had a great morning/evening. :)

[Lightning Mate]

One or two of you must be lurking.....

Some more will appear later I'm sure......

http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/uu82/Lightning_29/OHagain.jpg

[Karlark]

Is it Swedish?

Edit: FVM / CVM Thumbelina.... interesting, it has a rotating radial engine.

Open House if correct.

[Lightning Mate]

Nicely done mate. :D

Karlark has requested Open House.

[evansb]

Regarding the "rotating radial", in aviation parlance, it is called a "rotary" engine, not to be confused with the NSU/MAZDA rotary auto engine.

The rotary aero-engine was not uncommon in WW.I aeroplanes.

[Lightning Mate]

Quite correct - in this case a Le Rhône 9 (Thulin A).

[Noyade]

Two easy ones...

[Lightning Mate]

Thanks mate - and good evening. :)

Did you GIMP the silhouette?

This one is a Photoshop job:

http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/uu82/Lightning_29/foru.jpg

[Noyade]

Did you GIMP the silhouette?

Yep, but the ground made the outline hard to discern.

Sleek looking thing, German?

[Lightning Mate]

Yes - it was originally German until the company went bankrupt.

[Noyade]

Grob?.....

On 18 August 2008, Grob Aerospace filed for insolvency

[Lightning Mate]

Not Grob...........

[Noyade]

Ruschmeyer?

built before Ruschmeyer was forced to file for bankruptcy in early ...

[Lightning Mate]

Keep going...........another company.

[Noyade]

First flight...pre 2000?

[Lightning Mate]

Not sure of that one.

Ultralight, although it doesn't look it. Now Swiss. ;)

[Noyade]

Still available?
High wing?

[Lightning Mate]

I believe it's still available - high wing.

[Noyade]

T-tail?

[Lightning Mate]

That's the one mate - the Dallach Evolution.

Over to you. :ok:

[Noyade]

Dallach Evolution.That's interesting. Thanks for the answer mate. :ok:

I googled a Czech Fascination Evolution E100 and got that photo above. Obviously there's a connection? Where's Mr Kiplane Ken these days?

Better make it open house mate, "early start tomorrow" (and where's Trevor?).

http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7213/img485f.jpg (http://img269.imageshack.us/i/img485f.jpg/)

[Lightning Mate]

Open house means boredom. :\

[Noyade]

You at work?

[Lightning Mate]

Yep............and trying to find your confounded challenge!

[skytrain10]

Kiplane Ken?
Dallach was renamed Fascination in 2010. Same designer, just some minor difference in the aircraft itself. Classified as LSA's though, not kitplanes.

[Noyade]

Morning Ken. :)
Been travelling?

Thanks for the company explanation.

[skytrain10]

Evening Graeme...no just a busy time at present.

[skytrain10]

'artnoon Ken. :)

Suddenly busy.

Yours appears to be quite high resolution and I thus suspect it's a fairly recent photograph.

Would it be a homebuilt sports?

[skytrain10]

Hi David. Yes a recent photo albeit not that recent a design. Not a homebuild though.

[Lightning Mate]

So not a replica then.

[skytrain10]

So not a replica then. No, this is the original article.

Hello, Ken. Yes, a Brit. RR

[Lightning Mate]

High wing or low?

[Ridge Runner]

neither, david

[Lightning Mate]

That's blown my ANEC II out of the window then!

So it's either mid-wing or a bipe.

[Ridge Runner]

Yep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lightning Mate]

So it's either mid-wing or a bipe.

Care to tell us which?

[Ridge Runner]

Sorry, David..... mid-wing! :(

I'm surprised Ken ain't got this yet.

Wind can also affect aircraft weight

[skytrain10]

I'm guessing its not a Bell product, Ken? not even based on one?

Mmmm...

High aspect ratio - endplates with a probe on each.

Another research job?

[skytrain10]

That looks like a narrow wing, Ken? Difficult to tell from the angle of photo. Haven't found a 3-view so not really sure on thickness.

[Ridge Runner]

I know it but ....... :( ..... i can't recall the name!!

[skytrain10]

High aspect ratio - endplates with a probe on each. No mention of high aspect ratio wing in the description David. The "end plates" are tip tanks.

Another research job? No, it was to be a training aircraft, but never entered production.

[Lightning Mate]

A rationed wing eh! :E

[skytrain10]

A rationed wing eh! I'll have to learn to type better! Sounds like something one of your students would come up with:)

[Ridge Runner]

OK - can we hone down where its from? South America?

South America? It is from South America:ok:

Not from Aero Boero Martin.

[Ridge Runner]

OK, mate. I have to go now bt I'll try to get back to you later . M

[SincoTC]

Evening Ken,

Not too sure what to call this; my Spanish is rudimentary and the web translators give a rather difficult to interpret text.

it's one of Alfredo Turbay's last designs, a tandem-seat trainer, possibly called the Turbay T-11, built with the collaboration of Erwin May of AVEX Alaire, it may have been called the Alaire AL-1 Cacique, or even the Alaire Chief, it was registered and flown as an experimental (LV-X44). Take your pick :)

[skytrain10]

Evening Trevor. I would have accepted either the Turbay T.11 or the Alaire AL.1 Cacique, so either way its yours:ok: Just the one built, flown in 1970 and scrapped in the 1990's.

Going to turn in now as it's a 4am start tomorrow :(! Goodnight Ken :ok:

[Karlark]

Good morning... Maverick Smartjet?
Edit; or maybe Cruiserjet.

OH if correct.

[skytrain10]

Karl, close enough, although technically its neither of those. It's a Maverick 1500 TwinJet kitplane. You'll see the window layout differs from both the CruiserJet and SmartJet but the silhouette is very close to the former.

No takers, so.....

[Ridge Runner]

Cor ...... is this a homebuilt, Ken?????

[skytrain10]

Nice isn't it :). Not a homebuild. Designed as a trainer.

[Ridge Runner]

A trainer? For what, Ken? It looks like a Grumman Widgeon on wheels! Any connections, no matter how remote?

Edit: Ken, forget the silly Widgeon connection! :) I'm guessing it was a STOL machine? A trainer for that? A bush plane?

[skytrain10]

No connection with the Widgeon mate.

Pilot trainer, including remote areas and mountains, so perhaps it would fall in to the Bush Plane category? Not actually described as STOL but it does have a relatively short take-off/landing distance.

[Ridge Runner]

Canadian, Ken???

[skytrain10]

Not from North America.

[Karlark]

[Ridge Runner]

Mercury 6

Another very nice one, Ken!!!!!

[skytrain10]

Looks a bit like this: Surely not David....? Looks very much like a Be.200? Morning by the way:)

Does look familiar though....just a case of remembering where I've seen it:ugh:

Another very nice one, Ken Thought you'd like that one Martin. I was wondering if it had made an appearance at MAKS...?

[Lightning Mate]

Honda MH02.

[skytrain10]

Honda MH02. Now I know where I've seen it:) Looks like a good call David:ok:

[Ridge Runner]

I was wondering if it had made an appearance at MAKS...?

not that I remember, mate

[Karlark]

Good Morning. The Honda MH02 is correct :ok:.

Allegedly the first all composite light business jet to fly. I hadn't seen it before running across it looking for Ken's Maverick jet. :)

[SincoTC]

Oh well, I've just finished work and off soon, but I'll have to resume monitoring my "Intake" Challege when I get home, so I might as well put this one up and look after them both :)!

[skytrain10]

Evening Trevor...the Boeing 306B?

If correct will have to be Open House

[SincoTC]

Correct again Ken :D

It is the projected Boeing 306B flying wing.

Control is yours (or is it??)

Both challenges gone to that man!! :( Oh well, at least I can go home now without a care :)

Edit:

skytrain10 has requested an Open House :ok:

[Lightning Mate]

BTW, how's the water situation mate?

[Noyade]

Had a prostate ultrasound and PSA earlier this year. Pissing like a 10 year old with a sphincter made of steel! Thanks for asking.

Oh...you mean the weather? Water everywhere mate. Just finished painting the primer on my completed Ark. Should be floating by Monday and the only animals on board will be my family. :suspect:

Bleriot 110?

[Noyade]

House just snapped under the deluge. :(

Presently in the Ark. Open House if it should be the Bleriot.

Regards
Noah
Ark Industries.

[Lightning Mate]

So you have internet on the ark! How much fuel is on board for the generator?

The Bleriot it is mate.

Noyade has requested Open House.

[SincoTC]

Here's the next;
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii20/mudflaps_2008/35-11.jpg

[SincoTC]

Searching better than sleeping :ooh::sad:!!

Looks like an A.N.F. Les Mureaux 170 ??

[Karlark]

:D ANF Les Mureaux 170 is correct, your control. :ok:

Good early Sunday morning to you, Trevor. :)

[SincoTC]

Thanks Karl,

'Twas a lovely spring day yesterday 18 C, forecast heavy rain for Sunday not arrived yet :)

Here's my next!

http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n540/SincoSafe/TC_wtf217.jpg

[Karlark]

It's been a very mild & quiet Winter here this year, so far. Only 22" of snow this season compared to about 85" last season. Very terrible and unusual rounds of tornadoes in other states of late.

Your biplane another French?

[SincoTC]

Seen the twisters on TV, very nasty!! The predicted rain has now arrived; down here in the SW, we get most of our weather off the Atlantic, usually nicely moderated by the Gulf-steam!

Not French, but the right continent :)

so far. Only 22" of snow this season compared to about 85" last season

We get a few inches and London Heathrow is closed for a couple of days :O !! Trouble is, we only get your "normal" snowfall once a decade or less, so they can't justify the cost of all the blowers. The last time we had a couple of foot down here in the SW was '77.

Getting late were you are, so I'll say sleep well for now :ok:

[Karlark]

Weather was very nice the only time I visited over there, Dec '99. Stayed across the Bristol Channel somewhere around Bridgend and drove to work on the wrong side of the road to Port Talbot for a few weeks :).

Your biplane British? :confused:

[SincoTC]

Stayed across the Bristol Channel somewhere around Bridgend...

Wales eh!! I hope you had all the necessary injections!! (sorry Ken :), shouldn't speak too loud though, 'coz I was born there)!


My bipe's not British (or Welsh) Edit: I see Brian's light is on, he probably won't like this one even though it's not in Aerofiles!! ;)

[irishair2001]

Good Morning to all, German ! it looks like a L.V.G C IV a reconnaissance 2 seater,a developement of the L.V.G C II, which made the first daylight bombing raid on London on the 28 th November 1916 :ok:
