Looking at the flared profile of the cowling and the side view showing four exhaust stubs, is it an inverted V-8, maybe an Argus As-10 ?

1930's German?

My initial thought were for British, but I got drawn away 'coz of the cowl! in that case, I think it's an inverted Cirrus.

Going to turn in soon as it's gone midnight and gotta be up soon!!

Couldn't resist a quick look before turning in !

I think it's a Spartan Three Seater II ? Open House please if correct, as I'm hitting the hay now, or I won't get my four hours worth !

Have a good day mate

Coo, a response !!

Good morning evansb,

You have correctly identified it as being an amphibious pusher, but it's not a Coot

A little clue is probably in order, it's from the last decade of the last century and the power is supplied by a Rotax 582.

Still no guesses, not been many players around though !!

Some more clues to help weed it out from the plethora of Rotax powered amphibious ultralights!!

It's American, a two-seater and is old complete or in kit form.

It offers "Spectacular pilot and passenger visibility" (that's because it's Open Cockpit )!

It has retractable landing gear for water operation.

Removable wings (typically takes two people half an hour)

Part of its name usually refers to a small pleasure boat (sail, small motor or oars)

Good Luck

Edit: Sorry Brian, you posted while I was typing! It's not a SeaRey

Been a while. Lets see if I can make this work.



A bit larger than I anticipated, but she sure is a looker...

Hi Cubs2jets, welcome back

Had a long day today and my first chance of a look in!

Maybe an Aeronca Model 9 Arrow ??

Edit:
I'm gonna hit the hay right now, so to give the rest of the world a chance to play, please call Open House if correct.
