Of course I mean you.
Thanks David. Nice exec aircraft, albeit rather similar to the TBM-700.

In the interests of keeping the thread moving another easy one. I'm sure it will be nice when its finished!

At least I didn't ask for information-s...
Looks like today's not my day...

Enough off topic, let's see if I can find this...

Rather oddly although is a photo of the helicopter airborne, the helicopter itself is incomplete (and I don't mean the absence of its skin!).

TsAGI 3-EA

Russian, 1933, Photo is from Aviastar
Aaah, a lot better now, ain't it?

Edit: if by incomplete you are referring to the anti-torque rotor, then maybe it's just that the tail boom is longer than it appears to be and the photo only shows a part of it.
It is stated that this one's very similar to the 1-EA model, which has two small anti-torque rotors at the very tip of the tail and two at the front end.

TsAGI 3-EA
Spot on Happy Pass
Yes its the TsAGI 3EA, which flew but only with a tether. It was to have forward and rear contra rotating-rotors. See also the TSAGI 1EA for an idea of what it would have looked like when complete.

All yours HP

Edit to say, LM
I have it as the TsAGI 1-EA, with missing rotors.
Very similar but the 1EA had a rear wheel, the 3EA did not.
