Clue: Experimental category, amateur built. Aircraft was a subject on "Silhouette Challenge".

Here is the mystery aircraft.


My dear fellow ppruners, the time has come for me to end my five-year long participation in this thread. It has been a truly fascinating and educational experience, but it is obvious to me that interest has significantly waned.

Evening Brian ,

it is obvious to me that interest has significantly waned
Don't say that mate , I understand your feelings, especially when there is no response to a post for more than a day! I admit the thread is going through lean times, but I feel that this is due to regular players being away on business trips and other work commitments rather than a lack of interest (just look at the viewing figures), leaving the thread a bit slow. please be patient, it'll pick up, the thread (and SC) needs you ,

It's the SPEZIO SPORT DAL-1 "Tuholer"

I'll check back later (coffee time) and will sort something out to offer!

Gentlemen and Lurkers,

It looks to me that evansb will not be back to confirm what is pretty obviously the correct identity to has last challenge, after posting his last give-away photo clue!!

Therefore, as well over twenty-four hours have elapsed since this post, and as I'm presently unable to monitor the thread due to work commitments, I hereby declare Open House!

I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of my fellow PPruners, to thank Brian for his very valuable contributions over the past five years on this and other threads, and sincerely hope that he will return in the not too distant future.

If I may echo SincoTC's comments regarding Brian. Although I'm not a regular contribtor here I do pop up on Silhouette Challenge from time to time, and I for one hope that Bri will come back to both forums soon.

In the mean time if I may take advantage of the Open House:

Seems no guesses, so an expanded view which should assist:



That should give it better perspective. Closing down for the night now.

Evening Ken,

A bit late getting on tonight and think I've missed you. I saw your first challenge image before I left work and thought that I would start by looking at Oshkosh after I'd had something to eat!

Now, the expanded view makes it a lot easier and I'm fairly certain it's the Pro Composites Personal Cruiser. Not found your cockpit photo, but the one I did find from the 2010 Fly-in has nearly the same instrumentation and joystick.

Open House please if correct as I've got a full day in the workshop tomorrow, so wouldn't be able to monitor!

Sleep well

Good bit of research, yes it is the Pro Composites Personal Cruiser.

Certainly has a Russian feel to it. Twin prop light transport aircraft?

Not the Dassault MD-320 Hirondelle, right country though. Only 10 of this designation were built I understand.

You have control.

Thanks Mel. Got there in the end! Unfortunately it will have to be Open House.
