I don't think it's your mind mate - I think that's exactly what he meant.
Re-reading his posts, he did other quite graphic references to the correct answer, too ..... .

Edit to ask myself, how am I going to find anything different in the challenge than in about a hundred similar ones... The wiper .

These aircraft do not have wipers Reg.

Look above the wings in the root area.

There are several, mostly Polish and Czech, where most of the details fit, but then always one or two that don't. Gear firings is one, and you never know if the plane just comes with and without.....

Since someone complained about lack of cluess:
- its not European either
- its a comparitively recent design
- can be purchased complete or as a kit
The "windscreen wiper" is just a reflection.

G'day Reg, Happypass and Ken!

I think Ken is playing the old "Slip the Aussie past the Aussie" game.

Foxcon Aviation Composite Aircraft



And only $78,000. I just bought one on Lay-By!

Edit : Beaten to the punch!

Blimey. I just determined that it was IBIS Magic GS-700 from Colombia

OK, good night, then, gentlemen

Ken, very disappointed in your attempt to solve the XP-87.

Definitely the same aircraft mate. I'm sure Ken will confirm you as being first and correct. But he can be a slow responder...

HappyPass, your location...anywhere else on the planet you reside apart from SC? Just curious.

HappyPass, your location...
LM is right, you're not the first to ask... I won't tell
