Waiting you to pop out and crack this Piper clone so that we can move on. What did you think we were doing?

Don't look at me!

The only thing we know is that it isn't German.

Any more clues RR?

What was I saying 'bout Cub clones..?
The only one that I enjoyed solving was the one I cracked with Ton because it was one of the few with an inverted engine.
Boxer? Not interested...

You boys.....

Come on.... 140hp lyco. u/c, controls and engine mounts from a PA-22. 1960. What more do you want ... blood? I only hope there are as many clues around the next time a string bag is posted!

not interested
I have to sit and wade through all those biplanes so why not the odd high-wing GA type?

I'll hazard a Socata GY-80 (and a poor pilot...)
See you tomorrow,
HP

Edit: I don't know when I'm going to wake up tomorrow, so *if* I'm right call it an OH

SOCATA/Gardan GY-80-160 Horizon

Don't know the name of the pilot but this took place in Northampton - Sywell (ORM / EGBK), UK - England, on August 23, 2008

Well done HP

HP has requested Open House (at least if somebody wakes up before him )

The Manshu Ki-98, well done skytrain10!
trucky04 I'm afraid you've been beaten by a mere minute...
It used an ingenious system (an engine-driven fan, the air inlets being flush with the fuselage) to provide air to the engine

Open House
