Silhouette challenge

[skytrain10]

Glad to have some company David Been very quiet.
Don't bother to look at the US...that'll save you some time.

[Lightning Mate]

Right, chores done.

Now, am I looking at an early horizontally-opposed four?

[Lightning Mate]

'tag Reg.

Now, am I looking at an early horizontally-opposed four?

Good call LM...it is indeed a horizontally-opposed four. Lycoming to be precise.

[Lightning Mate]

That's going back a bit then.

An O-145?

[skytrain10]

Double it!

Edit to say, working out in garden for a while. Will check in later.

[Lightning Mate]

Is it an early homebuilt?

[skytrain10]

Evening LM...not a homebuild. Early 1940's design.

[RegDep]

Otherwise could be Brazilian CNNA HL-6B Carué with Lycoming O-290, but the fin/rudder looks smaller than in pictures.....

[skytrain10]

Not the Carue RD but this is an aircraft from the America's.

[RegDep]

Talleres Teziutlan from Mexico. Open House if correct, I have to go now.

Good night!

Talleres Teziutlan from Mexico

You're correct RD, it is indeed the Tezuitlan from Mexico. Excellent research



RegDep has declared Open House

[RegDep]

Thanks Skytrain!

Excellent research

Well. The only thing I was excelling in was multiplication: Two times 145 equals 290. And to know that one can search Russian sites with Latin letters in engine names, if the engine is "western", even if you (me) do not know Russian. The rest of the research was all LM's. To be LM's wing man is a good place to be .

I'll see what I can do to the self-inflicted open house.

[skytrain10]

Morning RegDep, hope all is well with you?

[RegDep]

Good morning Skytrain! All well! And you?

Here is my entry to my own open house:

[skytrain10]

I'm well thanks.

Looks like a Vickers Varsity?

[RegDep]

I sure does, dosn't it?

Very low staying-power / silhouetting time ratio .

In fact, there was a slight falsification in the silhouetting: the right hand engine in the picture was feathered and one of the two propeller blades should have been made visible.

All yours skytrain

[skytrain10]

Thanks RegDep.

Must admit I was trying to work out what all the bulges were on the engine....now I know!

Just catching up on some work at present, so bear with me for 30 mins and I'll be back.

what all the bulges were on the engine

Some of them are signs of silhouetting problems in old printed photos .

[skytrain10]

Sorry for the delay. Here's the next one to consider:
