When something's on Aviastar you can't expect it to last too long (see my poor Fiat 7002 so lovingly set on a lovely background with so much care just to see it shot down in 10' flat...)

found a challenge, just a couple of minutes to silhouette it and upload it

There!



No, it's not a Cessna and yes, it has a prop but it was not visible in the original photo and yes, silhouetting and smoothing really s***s (time constraint)

I have an urgent matter which requires my attention, will be away from my pc for the next 20' or so.
Sorry for the inconvenience, will be back as soon as I can.
BTW it seems that the challenge's not that easy, so...

Edit: back on line

Why should you assume so?

Wossat protruberence under the fin?
You mean in the tail? that's the result of a hurried selection and of a shadow cast by the horizontal stabilizer. It shouldn't be there.
The light on top of the vertical stabilizer is actually there instead.

An hour has passed, so it's clue time.
It's powered by a Mainland 85hp engine...

Then I respectfully request that silhouettes should be accurate and not misleading. If anyone has to do things in a hurry and not prepare beforehand, then this is likely to be the result.

I Remade the silhouette from the ground up, but I don't think that it can be any better than this given the source image res. (we are talking approx 150px height x 450px width).
I did my best, sorry if it's not up to par.



No, not a Partenavia.

Now having dinner, then I'll post another view of it (same postage stamp size though...)

Good evening gentlemen,

First time on today due to connection problems I'm going to be dog/house sitting for the next two weeks. The good news is that I will have a good connection in the evenings (I'm on it now, having given the dog a biscuit in exchange for their password )! The bad news is that it will be disruptive on my daily breaktime activities, as walkies will have to take precedance!!

It looks like it's been a pretty busy day on SC

HappyPass, I think that's a Stits Sky-Coupe ?

Good evening, Sinco!
Spot on, and that's the 10th for today, if I'm not mistaken!

Stits SA-7D Sky-Coupe, 1961, 85hp Continental


SincoTC has control!

Thanks HappyPass, good engine clue, I assumed it was on similar lines to the one you gave the other day !

Let's keep the ball rolling with another very hastily (and badly) prepared silhouette!

Almost made an error based on how the the tail and the engine looked, and must ask: One or three engines?
