Not the Albatross BII. This particular aircraft was a licence built version of a similar aircraft to the Albatross BII but, this particular aircraft, was built several years after the date the Albatross was built.

evansb sweeps the board again

It is the Czech Aero Ae.10
You have control

Sorry didnt get chance to answer your question.

[evansb]

Thanks Mel. The Czech Aero Ae.10 was very similar to the Ae.01. To add to the confusion, the Czech A.10 was a completely different aircraft, but was on the scene while Ae.10s were active. Also, the Ae.10 was sometimes referred to as the Brandenburg 14.

Here is the next cockpit:

Meta Sokol something...

[evansb]

evansb's challenge

Sorry, not a Meta Sokol. It is a low wing monoplane, but otherwise you are some distance away.

windriver, to clarify, the aircraft is not European in origin.

[windriver]

It's like they asked the new boy to design the panel with anything they could find at an aerojumble...

Piston engined.. (Lycoming at a guess)
Aerobatic
Civil
2 seat tandem
US

Anything out of 5?

Why the ambitious (accelerometer?) for a low speed non aerobatic aircraft. Must be a clue to its role here.

Also intrigued by the great lump of (non magnetic I hope) metal next to the compass.

The Throttle and Mixture controls look 60's Cessna... RR Continental Powered?

Is this a prototype?

I do not wish to mislead you but the aircraft, that I think this is, was not designed as an areobatic aircraft.
Also intrigued by the great lump of (non magnetic I hope) metal next to the compass.
The panel that matches this panel is identical except for a few differences and certainly does not have the large silver coloured "lever" you are referring to.
The Throttle and Mixture controls look 60's Cessna... RR Continental Powered?
The engine of the version I think this is did have a Contnental engine.
Is this a prototype?
I do not think that this is the prototype but it has had modifictions to the original aircraft I am sure.
I am basing these answers on the aircraft I believe it is, I do not wish to give the answer but give others a chance. I am 99% certain I know the aircraft.

Perchance a Mooney Mite?

[evansb]

evansb's challenge

larssnowpharter, you are correct. It is a Mooney M-18 Mite. Well done. The chrome crank handle is for adjusting the propellor pitch. An
option available on certain engines. You have control.

[evansb]

Nearly 24 hours has passed since the last thread, so if anyone has a cockpit photo to post, please feel free to do so.. While waiting,
if you are wondering about the red-tagged gear warning device on the Mite's panel, it wig-wags when the throttle is closed while the aircraft is airborne if the gear is up. The Mite was originally certified for a 25-hp water-cooled Crosley automobile engine.
The Mite has a unique combined flap-trim control, as shown in the photo.

Something for the weekend?

This is a bit unusual, early cold war



The front of the aircraft is to the right of the picture.

[BSD]

Bell X-5 ?

BSD.

[Kitbag]

Not the X5, this one is a tad bigger

[evansb]

Was it a British research or experimental aircraft?

[Kitbag]

Nope, it wasn't British.
