'Artnoon RR ,

'Tiz quiet innit; I wonder when Reg gets back?

I'm here, but only having some lunch and my first look in today, but will have to go back to work shortly!!

I have to ask the standard question, is it from the US and in aerofiles?

It looks like it's pretending to be a Unicorn, so is that diagonal thingy just something in the background?

I hope you'll have some more playmates soon!!

Hi mate!!

No, not a yank and not on aerofiles. Yes in the background is a crane! Hope you are well!

I'm fine thanks and hope that you are too!! It's very hectic here with our new factory extension's grand opening looming ever closer and a million and one things to do, plus a couple of R&D projects that need to get to market soon!!

No, not a yank and not on aerofiles
Thanks mate, I had a feeling you were going to say that ; would you describe it's country of origin as mainstream or unusual?

Is it a homebuilt or a kit?

Break's over now, but will try and get back later

Afternoon RR!
I can keep you company now that I'm back home: got to take care of a couple of things but can follow the challenge at the same time.
Yesterday too it was quite lonely: just me and Ton for most of the day.

Puzzled by this one's front cowling. Do I see an inverted engine or just a classic horizontally opposed one with a funny cover?

I'll say a quick Let-Mont TUL-01 Tulak Piper UL before heading for supper, just in case I'm right and someone has the same idea while I'm away

I don't think the tail is quite right on that one, HP.
The TUL-09 however...

Yeah, neither do I.
I didn't even bother to search wether they had more than one model, I just found a couple of photos on Airliners.net...

Edit: Surprise!
Found it!
Photos: Let-Mont TUL-01 Tulak Piper UL Aircraft Pictures | Airliners.net

seems like we were both right!!!

Let-Mont TUL-01 Tulak Piper UL
Remark SP-YET
(cn TUL-09)
As far as I can see there is quite a lot of different tails (square, triangular, rounded) on -01s at least on Airliners.net.
Maybe just poor photo tagging and different models or just kit options (I also see tricycles instead of taildraggers)?

Jetphotos lists that same airframe (SP-YET) as a TUL-09 instead:
