Carson,

As promised I was about to PM you with my image but Ridge Runner got it in eleven minutes, so I didn't see much point.

Next time I get the opportunity to post, I'll send yours within minutes.
The next time I get the opportunity....................

Ridge Runner,

"Now Iam in a spin!!!! Going down........"

Some advice:
Full opposite bedpost, duvet going forward until the spin stops, centralise bedpost and if this doesn't work apply full in-spin bedsite light and reach for the bedside bucket!!

As I stated clearly with my post #2424 it is the Skoda Kauba SKV-4 (SK257). It isn't my fault if this A/c has a double denomination!
However if I'm the winner I will declare open house because I'm not ready to submit a silhouette outright

That's all right LM I understand. RR seems to be the new enfant prodige

As Carson has declared open house and in the absence of any other proposals, I offer this one for consideration:

It looks a bit agricultural (the designer may not thank me for that!). The cockpit screening is definietly not streamlined! The only thing I have to go on is that familiar tail outline....

The designer would not be too impressed by your suggestion! I don't believe there has ever been any intended agricultural use for this aircraft.

I think it actually looks a bit home-made! (joke!) I agree, LM, Chinese looking. I come back to the tail-section whichlooks very familiar and I reckon its copied forthis project from something well known. I was hung up on a NA type but now, possible, Curtiss? I can't see the American's building something quite so ugly though!

Not Chinese, not North American (the manufacturer) and not Curtiss. Maybe not the prettiest aircraft, but I can think of some American designs that would make this one look graceful!

Are you aware that if you delete images from Photobucket then we are not able to see them retrospectively?
