What Cockpit? MK VI

Chinee takeawy...or Ah So ?
Morning Mel.
OK then, I spun the globe too fast, Japanese? The controls on the port side of the fuselage...are they for the landing gear? Hopefully not, as I'll stab again with the Nakajima Ki-27...?

Thanks Mel. I read that a jet powered version of the J7W was planned. Here is the next mystery cockpit:
Clue time. Here is a graphic of the complete instrument panel:

Its a Sun Ray
This Plane was designed by my father and was called Sun Ray. There was a two seater and a single seater. It could land/take off on water. It could be taken apart and slipped into a trailer in 20mins and it also could be flown by remote control. It was made of compsite and we had to line it with aluminum foil to be seen on radar. This picture is from 1987 ish. The Smithsonian has one in their archives and when My father sold the business and the remaining aircrafts and designs the sale had alot of Gov't attachments on who and where it could be sold too. He tried to sell it to the Gov't to be drone type aircraft plus it could be crated and air dropped assembled very quickly. They said there was no need for an aircraft like this......my how times have changed ;o)
Sorry, not the SUN RAY. Fascinating story. Looking forward to the photograph when you are able to post same.
