Goood morning mate! No, not the Stout SkyCar...... RR

Edit: Sorry, Ken. I was misled! YES! It is the Stout Skycar II!! I had it, wrongly, as the Convair 106 Skycoach!!

YOU HAVE CONTROL

Umm, oh, pretty sure I had that.

There was a Skycar IV that was rebranded under the Convair name. Aerofiles has a 3-view of it but there is some question as to what the Convair model number was.

Ah got it, thanks! I've just found the same image on a certain website - somewhat misleading as the title implies its a Convair 106!

Will have the next one ready shortly

I'd venture to say that it isn't European (UK excepted) from the drawing you posted, Ken?

Hi buttrick.
It is indeed the Manotskov Kashuk from Russia - well done . It was derived from the Antonov 9 glider.
No photo's that I have found.

buttrick has control
