I mean, I cannot find it in the SC thread via google (checking if it was posted after the last List update)
I can find it in google!
And I'm aware of the "available on the internet" rule.

Have definitely seen it but how? Do not have any books, and you say it cannot be found (the picture, I presume) by Giggling.

Edit 1: OK the second sentence is moot.

Edit 2: Shall we leave this to the night shift ?

Reg, please see 1 post above.
Both photos and 3-views are available on the internet and can be found via google.

Or, you can always ram your way through...

Re Edit2: as you wish, my friend. I'll be glad to collapse now, preferrably not on the floor...

All lights out, so I'll say sleep well guys and good morning HP

Is your glider the BICh-18 Muskulyot by Boris Cheranovskij, flown only as a glider, but intended to be an ornithopter ??

Better be Open House if it is as I'll likely be at work when judgement comes!

Edit: Boks, I should have got back sooner and got the Ambrosini SAI.207 again (got it twice before and would have been nice to get a hat-trick!!!)

Boooaaah .

My infallible glider site did not have it (and not the 16-either)

TC, you don't mean that you have had the SAI.207 in SC, even once, do you

And Good Morning, BTW. Back to bed, this day didn't start too well .

Apologies HP - that's not the way it read until your edit.

Good morning BTW.

Morning all.
No need to apologize, LM, my phrasing was somewhat ambiguous (late evening, Corona Extra...)

The BICh-18 Muskulyot (spelling may vary)

Or, you can always ram your way through...
BICh-16 and BICh-18 experimental ornitopters by B.I.Cheranovskij

My book says that at least once muscular propulsion was tested and the pilot reported considerable forward thrust, albeit admitting that sustained flight was impossible.

TC has it, therefore it's OH as he requested.

Looks like it might be a quiet day.

I wonder if Graeme has finished work yet.

Hi Mate, I am back. No guarantee of much liveliness, though. You like those "bi-&-semi-planes", don't you?

Morning Reg.

I like anything mate, except millions of Cub lookalikes.

....and another thing:

Your post #30943 - what were you doing up at 0336 Berlin time??

Yes I do mate, see Pages 1219 & 1388 and follow up post by Mel. (no big deal, we've all done it, but I missed a hat-trick, which is a near impossibility on SC for a single aircraft )

Sorry I can't stay, but it's back to work now, will try and get back later!
