Well done...yep, its the Airplane Factory D6 Sling from South Africa. For more information go to:
Welcome - The Airplane Factory, Johannesburg, South Africa

The round the world flight was to coincide with AirVenture 2009 at Oshkosh...see RR's link for details.

Thanks mate. I'd love to put one up but I don't have one ready. So, OPEN HOUSE.....

Cue LM with a Mach 3 parachute, or something like that!

Bonjour à vous Richard.

Basically a Lippisch design.

Thanks LM....thought you'd been quiet of late. Not seen Noyade on green either?

We were in contact last week and he has been having ISP problems in Oz.

I suspect that he may be in the process of changing supplier.

I'm intrigued. Is that a hatch above the fuselage at the wing joint? If so, what's it for?

Bonjour Richard

Well done, it is the XAZ-1 which was the US Army designation for the Mississippi State University MA-18B Marvelette, which is an adaption of the Anderson-Greenwood AG-14 aircraft.


Over to you Richard.
