Just because when I started in aviation Pontious was a pilot and Mortis was his rigger I wouldn't dare play the seniority card. I will go with the majority decision.

Well, when I started Pontious was a back-log student.

Good evening Noyade. I'm very tempted Mate. Can you stay up a little longer in case anyone else comments. I note that Bradenav is on line.

Not really a "usual suspect"; but a regular viewer and an occasional player, I say someone post something please!

Wouldn't it be a good idea for the "usual suspects" to agree on some ground rules to prevent this type of situation? Something like x hours to post a challenge, and to declare Open House if you won't be able to monitor answers to your challenge in a certain time.

SincoTC,

A good idea methinks. It's not much fun when the thread stalls is it?

Good grief SincoTC - that lasted eight minutes!

At last the thread is up and running again.

The cockpit area is not the same :
Maybe it's one KYUSHU-Chigasaki MXY 6 built to try the canard arrangement of the Shinden .


Since I have seen pics of the MXY6 :it's very different

Could it be the original version of the Kelly F-1D of May '95, before he added a small "conventional" fin to improve stability?

If correct "open house" please!

G'day RR! It looks like the French Romano R-83? Virtually unknown until Gerald Howson's book on Aircraft of the Spanish Civil War came out in 1990?

Hi mate! I hope the cough's getting better? Yes, It is the Romano R-83. A Fighter built specifically to an order from the Republicans, and constructed secretly in Belgium. Six were built and shipped to Spain, where they were probably used as advanced trainers. There was also an R-92, essentially the same but with a different engine. A single prototype R-92 was built to an order from the Republicans, and was probably delivered to Spain.

You have that column again.... RR

Much improved thanks Martin! Unfortunately I rejoin the workforce this week! lol.

I had some 3-views of obscure homebuilt aircraft from the late 90's lined up but for the life of me can't locate them on the internet. How do you feel about "un-googleable" challenges? Is it worth the heartache? Probably not.

This one is on the net...
