[irishair2001]

:{Just a quick guess LM, what are your findings?

[skwinty]

This is the picture I silhouetted.

I obviously made a lousy silhouette and for that I apologise.:O

But, Volpar Turboliner it is.

You have control mate. :ok:

[skwinty]

Nyet, the order is correct...:E

[Lightning Mate]

I posted #2004 immediately after #2002. :ugh:

[skwinty]

P: Forum clock handles posts funny.
S: Forum clock warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious. :E

[Lightning Mate]

Nyet, the order is correct...

B######ckx

Croist Min.........:uhoh:

Ah have heed enuff of dees time crip. :zzz::zzz:

[SincoTC]

Had to go out for a while; back now, but heading to the kitchen.

Looks like the infamous "Prune Clock Bug" has been upsetting things again!!

Not the best silhouette skwinty(as you admit), but obviously good enough for irishair2001 to ID the Volpar Turboliner correctlly :D, as skwinty confirmed in Post #2000. Got anything to post irishair??

[skwinty]

Moar, Irishair2001, Moar!!!:ooh:

[Lightning Mate]

Ah have heed enuff of dees time crip.

Wossa Oirish for dat?

Q: how do you confuse an Irishman?

A: put him in a round room and tell him his lunch is in the corner

:E:E

We are all waiting irishair2001 - the floor is all yours.:ok::ok:

This site is a complete mess!!!!

:ugh: :zzz::zzz::zzz:

[irishair2001]

:ok:Thanks guys ,but as i have said before ,i have not been able to manage to post anything on SC,so if anybody wants to take over my OH ,please be my guest :D

[irishair2001]

:=Actually LM the way to confuse an Oirish Man is to stand 3 shovels against a wall and tell him to take his PICK, :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[skytrain10]

As no takers for the OH, here's a quick one for the night shift:

http://i551.photobucket.com/albums/ii457/kendyer/f5730ed2.jpg

Skwinty, your silhouette was perhaps not perfect but good enough, and well recognisable as the Volpar....other than an exaggerated kink in the nose couldn't see much wrong with it. All I would ask is that you try to make them a little larger...if the image is a low resolution you can enlarge it using Paint...or at least that's what I use.

[trucky04]

OK. Can I start the ball rolling? this is a 70's design, probably Czech? Clues are welcome:)

[skytrain10]

Trucky, nice to see someone having a go:ok:

Not Czech (but is is a European design), and not from the '70's. Try the 1950's.

[trucky04]

IAR 827 of Romania?

[Lightning Mate]

Good afternoon Ken. :)

Some of us are busy.

Yours reminds me of the Ambrosini F4 Rondone somewhat.

[trucky04]

I meant the 823. Yeah Ii know I was wrong but I'm sure you'll agree now that I am 'less wrong'!

[skwinty]

Blume Bl.502

[SincoTC]

Good afternoon gentlemen :)

Lunch-break!

Yours reminds me of the Ambrosini F4 Rondone somewhat

Good call I recon mate :D:D

[skwinty]

Good call I recon mate :D:D

I think so too having now seen the Ambrosini.:ok:

[Lightning Mate]

Looks as if Ken is having to do some w o r k .....

This post was made at 1345 Prune time!!!

[skytrain10]

Been working, so first opportunity to take a look.

LM, not the Ambrosini F4 but you are very close :ok:

Not the Blume or IAR823.

[skytrain10]

The Ambrosini F7 Rodone it is David:ok:. Early version with the F4 tail. This particular aircraft still flying today.

http://i551.photobucket.com/albums/ii457/kendyer/9730df39.jpg

Lightning Mate has control

[Lightning Mate]

It must be the F7 then.

I-ADRE.

http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/uu82/Lightning_29/1165442.jpg

[Lightning Mate]

Thanks Ken.

Simple typo on my part. I found the photo above and there was no mistaking your silhouette and the background detail.

Here's an interesting ship....

[skwinty]

Dan Wright Nemesis NXT?

[Lightning Mate]

Looks similar but no.

[skwinty]

Intrepid
Unlimited Air Racer

by Hal Dantone

[Lightning Mate]

Another good try mate.

Isn't that one designed as a two-seater?

[skwinty]

Last offering before I go home.

'Osprey GP-5' Super Sport Racer Reno

[skwinty]

Yes, the Intrepid is a 2 seater.:cool:

[Lightning Mate]

Got there!

Your thread. :ok:

[skwinty]

OPEN HOUSE.:cool:

[Lightning Mate]

Go home fast!

[skwinty]

I drive a modified supercharged Cooper S so I will give it a go.:E

[Lightning Mate]

Girlie car mate. :E

[skwinty]

No, it's ghey, blows everything else off.:rolleyes:

Still OPEN HOUSE as I am going to be busy for a while.

[Lightning Mate]

I see evansb out there.....

Got anything mate? If not I have.

[RegDep]

Good afternoon / evening Mate :)

Back for a couple of days. What's up?

[Lightning Mate]

No takers!!

http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/uu82/Lightning_29/OH-3.jpg

[Lightning Mate]

Welcome back Reg. :ok:

Nothing's wrong mate - I didn't want to appear a hog!

[RegDep]

Maybe one of the some 60 Slignsbys……

Edit: my post above was after your challenge, so the time machine is still coughing…..

Scrap the Slingsbys

Reinhard Cumulus 1951

[Lightning Mate]

Reinhard Cumulus

:D:D

This particular one was 1953.

Your thread. :ok:

[RegDep]

I know Ernie. He wasn't me :p

Thanks Mate, here is yours to crack in a speedily manner

http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/g472/RegDep/3008copy-1.jpg

[Lightning Mate]

You are the slowest wingman in the West!!!

They called you Ernie you know.


......and he flew the slowest fighter in the West..........

[skytrain10]

Evening Reg....your's is an interesting looking machine. Trying to work out what the lump is under the fuselage....American?

[RegDep]

Skytrain, yes, American.

Sorry for my slow, just grilling Irish rack of lamb…..

[irishair2001]

:eek:RegDep ,you mean a rack of Irish Lamb :ok: lol

[RegDep]

Irishair, my first language is not English (nor Irish), but one of my first preferences is Irish lamb. I'll leave the details to the experts :). Whichever way, the outcome was perfect. Need to go back for seconds….

[skwinty]

Curtiss Wright CW-22 / SNC Falcon?

[RegDep]

Skwinty, correct.

I have it as Curtiss-Wright CW-22 but it is the same, I believe.

Over to you skwinty! :ok:

Edit: I see you edited it so there you go! :D

[skwinty]

Thanks RegDep,
Try this one, should be easy.:hmm:

http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/af92/skwinty/10.jpg

[skytrain10]

Evening skwinty....the Vultee XP-54.....?

[SincoTC]

Evening skwinty,

I do believe that's a Vultee XP-54 "Swoose Goose"

Just got in and going to get something to eat now, so Open House please if correct.

Edit: Snap!! well done Ken :ok: (I shouldn't have stopped to ask for the OH)!! At least both answers came AFTER the Challenge post :rolleyes:

[skwinty]

Hi SincoTC and skytrain.

skytrain has control.:ok:

[skytrain10]

Thanks skwinty...and well done Trevor.. just pipped you at the post:)

Here's the next challenge:

http://i551.photobucket.com/albums/ii457/kendyer/cf3dd4bf.jpg

[SincoTC]

Is it a Robin Alpha ?? Not sure which one as there seems to be a lot of them! There's a similar angle shot in Wiki of an HR200/100

The horizontal tail looks about right, but I haven't found one with that aerial wire!

Will have to ask for an Open House if it is please, as I'm off to bed soon for a 5am start tomorrow!

Good to see you're light on again Reg :ok:

[skytrain10]

Evening Trevor...not the Robin Alpha or the HR200/100. You are very close:ok:, but this is an earlier design, originating from the late 60's, and quite different in its appearance.
Edit to say, I think the wire aerial is a red herring as others of this mark do not appear to have one.

[SincoTC]

Back again Ken,

I wasn't entirely convinced about the Alpha, so I just had to have another look!

I found this photo that rather looks like the one you used:

Photo Unknown Robin HR.100/210D Safari D-EHPL (http://www.planepictures.net/netshow.php?id=213767)

the caption says it's a Robin HR.100/210D Safari


But then again, the photo of the Ambrosini I found after LM posted, was your picture, but the Italian website captioned it as an Ambrosini F4 Rondone, I should have zoomed in as it had F-7 painted on the cowling!!

Really off now so OH please if it's correct this time!

[skytrain10]

Got there in the end Trevor:ok:. Yes, its the Robin HR100/210 Safari, a variant of the original HR100/180 Royal of 1969.

Here's a side view which shows its rather distinctive design.

SincoTC has declared Open House

[Lightning Mate]

Morning / morgen / evening. :)

We have not had one of these for a while.

http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/uu82/Lightning_29/wed-1.jpg

[RegDep]

Good morning to you Mate :)

[Lightning Mate]

Busy sleeving.....

[RegDep]

Not me :(.

one of these

You mean motor gliders?

[Lightning Mate]

Yes I do.

(also preparing the Christmas Special)

[RegDep]

That picture taken at Turweston?

[Lightning Mate]

Dunno!

I'l try to find out - standby.....

No - it's in Belgium mate.

[skytrain10]

Its a Schwammle HS-3 Motorlerche I believe?

If so will have to be Open House

[Lightning Mate]

Bingo!!! :D

Pity mate, but it's OPEN HOUSE again.

[RegDep]

Boohoo :{

My PERFECT site is silent about it, but somewhere else I see that it is a motorised version Schleicher Ka-4 Rhönlerche II . . . .

And, of course as always, the web is full of its pictures…...

[Lightning Mate]

Just been engaging in banter on the Military thread. :}

Got anything Reg?

[RegDep]

Just been engaging in banter on the Military thread.

When your adrenalin level is back or close to the safe level, please make a stab at this one, too:

http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/g472/RegDep/3108-1.jpg

[Lightning Mate]

Looks like it's time to go to Aerofiles.

[RegDep]

You might Mate, but what a pure waste of time.

Took a look at Military. Did not see much adrenaline there, though :ok:.

[Ridge Runner]

Hi Reg! Would the "step" in the top of the fuselage actually be the wing? RR

Edit: I'd say its a re-engined Junkers?

[RegDep]

"On top of the fuselage" is an antenna - behind the challenge aircraft is another aircraft.

Why re-engined? This aircraft came with at least seven different engines.

[Lightning Mate]

A good day so far - please standby.....

[Lightning Mate]

Agreed.

Something like a W33 or W34.

[RegDep]

Something like a W33 or W34.

Very much so.

Junkers Ju W 34, a Swedish individual.

Over to you Mate :D

[Ridge Runner]

Nah, G23 or 24

Edit: oops .....:\

[Lightning Mate]

I have just realised it's been done before. :\

Would you like me to withdraw it and submit another?

[RegDep]

Do another one if you feel like it. No point in declaring Open House :).

[Lightning Mate]

Thanks mate - this one is straightforward...

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

[Ridge Runner]

Its a ruskie, I think. Can't remember the name

[skwinty]

OGEE wing on Douglas F5D-1 airplane

[Lightning Mate]

To answer all three of you:

Russian
Not a Douglas
Manned

[Lightning Mate]

Not a home-built

[RegDep]

Manned or not manned?

Homebuilt Delta Five . . .

[Noyade]

Heading to bed and had a quick look at SC.

BICh-26...?

http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/8113/images1875120.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/200/images1875120.jpg/)


Open house if so.

[Lightning Mate]

Nice call mate. :ok:

Another pity - Graeme has asked for OPEN HOUSE.

[Lightning Mate]

I do not wish to be greedy.

...posted at 1332!!!!!

[skwinty]

Post another then, I am sure you have a full pylon! :ok:

[skwinty]

So the rest of us should starve?:)

[Lightning Mate]

Do you want straightforward or very extremely difficult? :E

[Ridge Runner]

ah ha.. I see it is listed simply as "BiCH-26". Ah well... RR

Where's your next then, eh????

[Ridge Runner]

so why has my latest post appeared earlier than my previous?

Mods - when is this going to be sorted out?

[Ridge Runner]

By the way, we had the BiCH-26 back in February!!

[Lightning Mate]

RR & skwinty - are you unable to post?

[Lightning Mate]

Call me Dafty mate.

I checked the list under Cheranovsky. :\

[skwinty]

Lightning Mate, give us the worst case scenario.:ouch:

[Lightning Mate]

OK then. This took 90 minutes to draw.....

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

...posted at 1400...!!!!!

[Ridge Runner]

RR & skwinty - are you unable to post?

Reluctant due to the timing issues! RR

[skwinty]

Go Lightning Mate, my quiver is empty.:O

[Lightning Mate]

How are you guys doing?

[skwinty]

OK.

Italian, English or American?

Will continue the search when I get home.:cool:

[skwinty]

I asked for a worst case scenario and that's exactly what I got.

Found nothing so far.

Russian or French?:hmm:

[RegDep]

OK, so what have we got?

Gull wings
A pusher
Four-fin canard
The pilot laying in a canvas "hammock"
Radiator above the pilot's head

What else…..

[Lightning Mate]

Neither mate. :\

[skytrain10]

Tea time.....I guess your latest is on everyone's fabourite website David!

[Lightning Mate]

Not this one mate.

[RegDep]

See my #2110

Not this one mate.

Can confirm that :(

[Lightning Mate]

Gull wings
A pusher
Four-fin canard
The pilot laying in a canvas "hammock"
Radiator above the pilot's head

no
yes
sort of
no - in a seat
no - at the front

I do have a very old photograph of it on the ground if you're interested.

Also the original diagram artwork from which I did the silhouette.

[RegDep]

Let us have the picture first…..

But this is not from Romania and Vlaicu ?

[RegDep]

Hah I knew.

1909 Avioplan
Country of Origin: Romania Designed and built by Rodrig Goliescu

[RegDep]

See my #2117

[Lightning Mate]

Please standby.....

But this is not from Romania and Vlaicu ?

Do tell me more....

[Lightning Mate]

Sorry - didn't look up.

:D:D

Your thread. :ok:

[RegDep]

Thanks Mate!

Next

http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/g472/RegDep/60328920-1copy.jpg

A bit hairy silhouette, but need to go now for about 30 minutes, so didn't start fine-shaving.

[Ridge Runner]

What's that rather masculine thing hanging under the fuselage, Reg?

[skwinty]

That's the stairway to heaven.:ok:

[RegDep]

I think both of the above. A supportive member…..

[skwinty]

Fairchild 22?

Fairchild 24 ARGUS III.

:mad: Fairchild made lots of aircraft.:hmm:

[RegDep]

Fairchild made lots of aircraft.

Agree. They did. But not this.

Fairchild 24 ARGUS III.

Disagree.

[skytrain10]

Evening Reg, no obvious signs of power in your challenge. Are we looking at a glider?

[skytrain10]

Hall Aluminium Monoped?

If so will have to be Open House.

[RegDep]

It is not a glider. There is a 120 hp Ranger in the conventional place. The propeller was missing (or otherwise invisible) in the original picture.

[skwinty]

Duplicate post

[skwinty]

What is on the wing? Early crop sprayer?

http://aerofiles.com/hallalum-monoped.jpg

[RegDep]

Yes, it is the Hall Aluminum Monoped, the one which killed Mr Hall himself.

No idea what are the slat-looking things in the Aerofiles picture. Those were not present/visible in the picture I used.

Skytrain has requested Open House

[skwinty]

Try this one.

Something for the night owls.:hmm:

G'day skwinty! Any chance yours is this with the guts and skin on...?

Unlikely...but if it is, open house. :)

[skwinty]

That's the ticket mate.

A 1928 Cessna AW:ok:

OPEN HOUSE once again

[evansb]

Here is the next challenge:
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r68/convair640/FOR_POOR_REGDEP.jpg

[skwinty]

Farman Sport "Carte Postale". This 1926 aeroplane was the result of combining a Farman David fuselage with part of a Farman Goliath .

[evansb]

skwinty is correct. The Farman Post Card. Your turn.

[skwinty]

OPEN HOUSE:cool:

[Lightning Mate]

Good morning Reg and skwinty. :)

Are you bored?......

http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/uu82/Lightning_29/thurs-1.jpg

[RegDep]

Good morning Gentlemen.

Not bored. Just brewing more coffee…..

Presuming that the rhinoceroid thing on the nose of the challenge is part of the cowling, not of the right wing…..

[skwinty]

Good morning Lightning Mate and RegDep.

Not any more.:ok:

[RegDep]

To #2145

I meant the top, but as you say bottom, I presume that one is a radiator……

(I have looked at the Computers and Troubleshooting forum, and they are as pissed as we are of the time stamps, but no solution…. At least they have a Mod and an Admin working on it….)

[Lightning Mate]

Presuming that the rhinoceroid thing on the nose of the challenge is part of the cowling, not of the right wing…..

Do you mean at the top or the bottom?

[RegDep]

To #2147

Hallo HP, welcome back. Yes, we have ;)

[HappyPass]

Let's add another layer to this timestamp mess by adding another post... I'm back! :)
Morning all, hope you've had good fun in the meantime!

[Lightning Mate]

Sorry guys - "database error".


I meant the top, but as you say bottom, I presume that one is a radiator……

The top is indeed the cowling.

The radiator is central and in front of the gear main struts, and is slightly V shaped.

Nice to see you again HP. :)

[Lightning Mate]

Not a Curtiss and certainly not a racer.

[skwinty]

A Curtiss racer?

[Lightning Mate]

Nowhere near mate.

post timed at 1001!!

[Lightning Mate]

Not American, but whether it is European depends on who you talk to. ;)

post timed at 1008

[RegDep]

Many things point to something like Breguet Bre 19 TR.

Anywhere near?

Nowhere near mate.

OK, but somebody has cut the front of the Breguet and pasted it together with someone else's tail…. Someone in Japan???

Are you alluding to something behind the big water or a big continent from France?

[Lightning Mate]

All my posts are going back 10 minutes in time, so keep scrolling UP guys.

[skwinty]

American or European?

[RegDep]

Ach, so it is Russian :ok:

…if you talk with me ;)

[Lightning Mate]

Ach, so it is Russian http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.pprune.org/get/images/smilies/thumbs.gif

Yes Reg....

[Ridge Runner]

Timestamps? Let's see where this one goes! :)

Edit: seemed to be okay!

[RegDep]

To #2161

LM, is it the Polikarpov PM-1 ??

Pretty obvious question…..

Civilian or military was probably what Mate expected. Anyhow, as I already thought at Breguets, it WAS bigger than the first glance lets you beleive….

[Lightning Mate]

So far, nobody has asked what to me is an obvious question.

[RegDep]

See my post on the previous page, posted after TC's response . . .

[SincoTC]

Morning All,

LM, is it the Polikarpov PM-1 ??

Coffee break is nearly over, so Open House please if correct, sorry, but at least there's a lot about this morning :)

[Lightning Mate]

LM, is it the Polikarpov PM-1 ??

It most certainly is TC. :ok:

TC has declared OPEN HOUSE.

[Lightning Mate]

I note that on the AH&N main page it lists the last post as RegDep at 1044.

Work that out!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, it did until this post!!

C'mon RD and HP - post something!

[RegDep]

Someone said OH?

http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/g472/RegDep/Bildschirmfoto2011-09-01um124010-1.jpg

Edit: D….d, where are the enthusiastic Aaaahs and Ooooohs?

[Lightning Mate]

aaaah aaaah oooooh oooooh.........

s:mad: colour combination!!

[RegDep]

s :mad: colour combination!!

Yep :cool:

Cool isn't it.

[Lightning Mate]

The prop looks feathered.

Therefore is it a motor glider perhaps electrically powered?

[RegDep]

You don't see the prop. What you might see is the right-hand wing tip.

Electric may be one option, though…..

[Lightning Mate]

It's a Pipistrel Panthera.

[skytrain10]

Afternoon all, not had a chance to look in until now. Looks like the Pipistrel Panthera?

Edit...ignore me, I see LM was there first.

[RegDep]

Sure it is the Pipistrel Panthera, the guys are selling it short (deliveries start 2012 for petrol engine version, the hybrid and electric to be expected in 2013).

Over to you :ok:

PS. The background colour was the original one in the picture.

[Lightning Mate]

Thanks Reg.


PS. The background colour was the original one in the picture.

Sounds like another Photoshop tutorial. :E

This one is very easy and I expect skytrain to get it within five minutes....

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

edit: going out for 15-20 minutes.

[skwinty]

DC-4E had a triple tail.

[Ridge Runner]

the DC-4E, mate????

Edit: oops, didn't see Skwinty's post!!!

[Lightning Mate]

DC-4E had a triple tail.

It sure did skwinty. :ok:

Over to you - and please not another OH.

[Ridge Runner]

I have one ready if you haven't, Skwinty! ;)

[Lightning Mate]

PM for Reg.

[skwinty]

All yours Ridge Runner, I am at work so nothing on hand.:ok:

[Lightning Mate]

PM for skwinty as well.

[skwinty]

Sorry Mate, OPEN HOUSE:uhoh:

[Ridge Runner]

Try this for size ....

[Ridge Runner]

We are in a weird world!!! :)

[skwinty]

Aeronca........?

[RegDep]

RR does this have fixed leading edge extensions or movable slats?

STOL anyways, right?

[Ridge Runner]

yes, STOL, Reg

[Ridge Runner]

Not an Aeronca, Skwinty

[skwinty]

What about Taylorcraft L-2?

[Ridge Runner]

Not a Taylorcraft, mate

[skwinty]

Bellanca? Last try until later.;)

[Lightning Mate]

Back briefly.

That gear looks beefed up - for rough field work?

Was it designed from the outset for STOL or modified?

[Ridge Runner]

Not a Bellanca, Skwinty

Beffed-up? Yes, probably. Not intended for rough-field work, though

Yes, STOL as designed

RR

[RegDep]

A bit geographical narrowing-down, shall we?

Is this from the USofA?

[Ridge Runner]

not a yank, Reg

[Ridge Runner]

ah no... that's just a britsh expression. No clue there! (answer to 2197)

[RegDep]

Trying to decipher this

Try this for size ....

Apparently very small then :uhoh:.

[Ridge Runner]

off home soon... will call in later... ;)

RR

[Ridge Runner]

Elaborste, Brian. From where?

[evansb]

Rubik R-18 ?

[skwinty]

Better not be the M-28 Dura.

Thats been on already.:suspect:

[Ridge Runner]

Neither the Rubik or the Dura, gents

[Ridge Runner]

Sorry boys, I'm off to bed now. I'll be back on at 0930 UK time tomorrow. RR :E

Another wild guess: Levasseur PL.401 ?

[Ridge Runner]

Not the Levasseur, Brian

I'll start dishing out a clue or two around mid-morning

RR

[skwinty]

ANF Les Mureaux 113?

[RegDep]

Mate and Skwinty, Good Morning and so long; i'll be off now for weekend. Take a good care of the thread!

[skwinty]

Morning RegDep,

Have a great weekend. I am also going away for the weekend.
Back on sunday evening.:ok:

[Ridge Runner]

oh dear!!!!!

ANF Les Mureaux 113?


Not the Les Mureaux

.... a bit lonely now!!!!! I might withdraw it!! :(

RR

[skwinty]

Try giving us a clue instead.

I am still here for another hour or two.

[Ridge Runner]

The designer was also well known for another similar machine. I'll get some other clues to send out over the next hour or two... :)

[skwinty]

Cheers, I am out of here now.

[Ridge Runner]

OK mate, have a good weekend. RR

[Noyade]

G'day Martin!

No idea mate. :ok:

Any connection with the Aero L-60 Brigadyr?

[Ridge Runner]

Hi Graeme, hope you are well?

No connection at all.

Clue 2: Conti 90

RR

[Noyade]

All good here Martin!

Clue 2: Conti 90

Better clue would be the nationality mate....:)

[Ridge Runner]

German, mate

[Noyade]

German

Didn't expect that....German, eh....

39'- 45'....?
Fieseler?
Weserflug Bf 163?

[Ridge Runner]

no, no and no, mate

1950's

Didn't expect that....German, eh.... And I thought Reg would have got it!

[Noyade]

1950's

Got me stumped mate. Many built?

[Noyade]

Gonna go Martin. Enjoy your Saturday! Don't spend it all looking at a monitor. http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.pprune.org/get/images/smilies/thumbs.gif

[Ridge Runner]

You too mate

Just one built

[Ridge Runner]

Refreshing the minds of those still out there .. if any!

One built
German
Conti 90
STOL
1950s
Designer designed anoher well-known and similar machine

Will be on the road at 1730BST... fair warning!

RR

[Ridge Runner]

I've got to go!!!!!

Its on the web so I'm sure one of you will get it. I'll try to log in later. If not it'll be tomorrow morning.

RR

[diesel addict]

Sperling ???

In the highly unlikely event of a correct challenge - open house

[Lightning Mate]

Refreshing the minds of those still out there .. if any!

I wonder why there aren't..................................

[HappyPass]

Da**-it...
I thought I'd had more time this week-end...
All work and no play makes HP a dull boy...

Hard one this one it looks like... :8
Well, see ya in a few days or so.
HP

[Noyade]

Dornier?

Thought I was onto something with the Do-25....but no.

[SincoTC]

Morning all :)

Good one Martin!! Elusive little bugger this, got me well and truly stumped too :\ !!

And I thought Reg would have got it!

Wondered if that was a subtle pointer to something from Akaflieg Berlin, but if it was, I didn't find it; 'tiz similar to the the fva-18: "primitive crow" from Aachen, but that had a VW engine, wrong tail and we've had it already. A variant of the Sperling, but can't find anything, ditto the Do-25 !!

Obviously missing the killer keyword :confused: !! Maybe Glider towing or motor-glider??

Was this a little known abandoned product of one of the main manufacturers, or an early, possibly amateur attempt from the (German?) designer, who went on to produce the "well known and similar machine" for another company?

Off to work now, will try and get back later :ok:

[Ridge Runner]

Hi Trevor!!!

Sorry mate, none of the above. It was built and flown. I'm not sure it still exists. There is a photo and 3-view on the net. It didn't lead to anything and was built as a one-off. However, one of the designer's other machines was reasonable successful - one on the UK register - and was revolutionary in its way. Remember the STOL aspect.

I'm out today - family sickness probs - but will log in on the Blueberry later.

RR

[Ridge Runner]

As I'll be out and about here's a further clue: a side-by-side, two-seater. If anyone gets it while I'm away just move on as I wouldn't want to stall the thread - it never stalls! ;)

RR

[skytrain10]

Good morning. Not had a chance to look recently.
Martin, is it the Zweisitziges Langsamflugzeug LF-2 Kiebitz?

If correct will have to be Open House

[Ridge Runner]

Morning Ken!!!!

Yes, its the LF2 Kiebitz. I think Brian was getting close! As you can see, but was related to the LF1 which was impossible to stall - hence my latest clue.
- Institut für Flugzeugbau und Leichtbau (IFL) (http://www.ifl.tu-braunschweig.de/data/forschung/geschichte/kiebitz.php)

Ken has declared OPEN HOUSE

RR

Edit: where did Brian's post go???????????

[MReyn24050]

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c67/sabamel/kiebitz.jpg

Great challenge Martin. I found Prof. Ing. Hermann Winter's LF1 but just could not find the follow on.

[Ridge Runner]

Thanks Mel.... Good things are worth the effort and waiting for! ;)

[skwinty]

Good day folks,
Here is an easy one.

http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/af92/skwinty/B207.jpg

[skytrain10]

Hi skwinty. Is it the Bujon-Croses EC-7?

[Ridge Runner]

Hi Skwinty!! I'm sure we've had this before but I can't remember the name :( M

[skwinty]

skytrain10 has control.:cool:

[skwinty]

Ridge runner, the list says no to Bujon Crosse.

Is there perhaps another name for this aircraft?

[Ridge Runner]

Sorry mate, I guess I'm mistaken..... Nice challenge!!!

RR

[skytrain10]

Thanks skwinty....like Martin, I thought it looked familiar but there are quite a number of similar machines, including at least one other with the somewhat unique undercarriage arrangement.

Here's one to consider. Will be offline for a while but will check later.

[skytrain10]

Just looked in and all appears quiet.
Clue 1...powered by a Hispano Suiza engine.

I was somewhat shocked to read the recent posts (now fortunately deleted) from one particular individual . We may all get frustrated when we can't identify a challenge, but can I remind everyone of the spirit of the thread.....this is a game, for fun, to test our recognition abilities - you don't take it out on others when you don't know the answer. Once any of us resort to abusive posts of the nature I saw when I logged in this morning then it's time for that person to leave the thread.

However, there was one instigator, he also being the perpetuator. It is therefore in appropriate to tar all with the same brush, despite the sentiments being correct. As is evident, we are all a well mannered bunch!!!

Good Evening Gentlemen!

I'd feel bad leaving an Open House without a caller all by itself for the whole night…..

http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/g472/RegDep/Bildschirmfoto2011-09-04um221338.jpg

Happy hunting, night shift!
