Nicely done LM! After the Keith-Rider R-3 crashed it changed hands to become the Marcoux-Bromberg Special or R-3 Marcoux-Bromberg Special.

Well done sablatnic.

The Yokosuka MXY7 Ohka.

A Japanese piloted "Kamikase" bomb which was launched from conventional bombers. First deployed in early 1945. The Americans called them "Baka Bombs". Baka is Japanese for "stupid".

Control is all yours.

Commonwealth CA-15?

P.S. If true, open house as I have no image handy.

Not nice to intrude again, but could it be the Smith Miniplane.

Unfortunately not. Just some photos. And a plan for a peanut size model. Rubber powered, 13" span.
I do have a sort of 3 view of a 2-seat evolution though.
The propeller profile does look right. The vertical line in front of the propeller is a datum line.
I didn't make it myself. Honestly.
