Silhouette challenge

[RegDep]

TC can you confirm that it is what it looks like: a flying glider boat with a propeller in water

Did anyone notice that I posted the Carpenter Monoplane just a few days ago?


Morning TC.

No apologies needed mate - it's all too easy to do.

Sorry Reg; there's no water involved

[Lightning Mate]

RP-318 rocket glider

[SincoTC]

Got it in one LM

The Korolev RP-318 rocket glider

'Tiz a propellor of sorts at the back innit!!

Designed by Sergei Pavlovich Korolev, later to become the Father of the Soviet Space Program, but known only as "The Chief Designer" until after his untimely death!

Lightning Mate has Control

[RegDep]

Bah! Went through all German/US guys in X-15, Apollo, and some other like Thiokol... Even Goddard.

[Lightning Mate]

Thanks TC - a nice challenge.

I looked hard at the tail and concluded it just had to be a rocket exhaust.

'twas downhill from there.

Fast forward in time:



I had better get silhouetting - I'm down to 8 left.

Morning,

It looks a bit like the Arnold AR-6 "Endeavour" pylon racer...

Duz Dunnit. That's cuz it is.

All yours John.

[drawbarz]

Thanks LM,

I don't expect it to last long but this is all I have at the minute.

Judging by the lack of flaps and dihedral, and the large ailerons, I am guessing it's an aerobatic job.

[drawbarz]

Not aerobatic, more like an earlier equivalent of your previous challenge

[evansb]

Falck "Rivets" ?

[Lightning Mate]

I found that earlier too, but dismissed it as it's a model aircraft and doesn't seem to be modelled on a real one (at least according to RC modellers thread).

Ah well, must go and do some work now.

[evansb]

Legendary Bill Falck's #92 "Rivets" set a few records for it's class (190 cu. in.), starting out in the late 1940s, and a much modified T-tail "Rivets" crashed in 1977 taking Bill's life with it.

[RegDep]

Like this...

[Lightning Mate]

Errrrrr....

Does anyone have control of the thread at the moment?

[RegDep]

Guess drawbarz needs to declare evansb but he has gone

[Lightning Mate]

They have both gone, so it's a stalled thread again.

See you sometime later.......
