Well that lasted all of three minutes, is it a new record for the shortest lived challenge?
RR has it, the Fournier RF4D motor glider it is. RR has control.
Carson1934. Sorry about that, I had actually got the Breda as a possible challenge a few months ago, then my hard disk blew up (well, stopped working) before I could back it up and I lost it.

Thanks mate. Well apologies up front as I couldn't find a 3-view of this aircraft anywhere. So i tackled it with PS and I offer this - not a silhouette - and, yes, LM, I know I could have asked you...... RR

I have studyed the picture, but I must be missing something. All I see is a Piper PA-11 without the fuselage stringers, but with a weird cowl.
And then again. More like a J-3. But lacking the stringer and having a funny cowl. Don't get it.
Anyone thought of the Wagaero Cuby? But the stringer and the cowl.

Nice suggestions everyone but it is not an Aeronca, not a Wagero Cuby (whatever that is) and not a PA-11. However, Sablatnic you have something with one of your posts. Don't get hung up on the stringers. As far as I can see they are as per the base aircraft. Although my image doesn't show them clearly there are stringers atop and under the tailplane, if that helps.
This aircraft was first produced in 2005, the year that I took the photo. As far as I can ascertain there is more than one in existence as I have found photos on the net. I have also seen it with a 3-blade prop.

Is it one of the Light Miniature Aircraft (LMA) Cub Replicas...I think they are available in kit form (in either wood or metal).
As well as full size they are also available at 85% full size too apparently!

Good morning Drawbarz. This one is certainly full-size. I think it is apparent that it is based on the Cub, but who produced/es it? and where is it from? The engine cowl is, I think, the key to de-ciphering this.

That could be it. With a Mossler engine.

Sorry but no, not a CubCrafters SportCub.
I don't have many more clues to offer! However I can say that it is on the web and the type is shown within the Janes site.
