Trying to remember... the Fleetwings ???

The BT-12? Described by its constructors as the first stainless-steel military aeroplane ever built. Powerd by a P&W Wasp Junior.

Hmmm...nice one mate! You'd be insulted if I asked for clues at this early stage and it must be getting late for you so I'll shuffle off and see what I can find. Thanks Martin.
Cheers,
Graeme.

Hi Harley and welcome to the thread! It does a bit, but there's no crank-wing on the Widgeon/Gosling...

It certainly looks like the Weserflug P 2147, but as a point of order we have already had that one (I posted it).

RR,

Don't worry about it mate.

It's been done before. I certainly have.



I was also miffed at the Fleetwings post - it was going to be my next!

In fact ,it's the PROCAER F-15 C Super Picchio .
BTW ,the wing plan view is very similar to the SIPA Antilope's one ,which was at first a PROCAER design .

You have the control .

Thanks Silvio....I was lucky enough to see the prototype at Oshkosh a few years back. For anyone not familiar, here she is in colour:
