Crawford CLM

Found it after finding a Fairchild with similar pants like pontoons....

Open House, because must turn in now, and will be off tomorrow.

Night!

That's the one Reg, the Craword CLM of 1931 a six seater powered by a single Wright Whirlwind.



RegDep has requested an Open House

Nothing ready, and by the way tomorrow I will not be able to access a pc for most of the day, so it's quite pointless...
The last one was nice, though.

Thanks HP, never mind, that's fair enough!

We'll see if Graeme's lurking on a bright Monday morning, or maybe Bri (evansb in Alberta) will pop one up before he turns in?

I'm off to walk the dog, so I'll say goodnigh, been a good day innit !

Morning David. I see we made 10 challenges yesterday, although it slowed up a little in the evening.

This one is a little unusual....

Morning Martin...hope all is well. Not a WIG and not Russian. But you've spotted the first of this aircraft's "unusual" features. The wings do extend but not for that purpose.

To odd to last too long! Well done LM, it is the Gevers Genesis . The extendable wings are quite the reverse of Martin's thoughts. They extend for landing and take off, but retract in flight. Also the engine mounts lower for flight mode (see side profile of silhouette).

All yours David.

Interesting (but not really) thread on Jet Blast about the Lightning.
