Silhouette challenge

[sycamore]

Goodyear CA-2B ?

Open house if it is..

[S'land]

Sorry, not a Goodyear CA-2B either.

[S'land]

Time for a clue, methinks.

This aircraft was powered by a 130 hp Franklin 6A pusher unit.

[diesel addict]

I think there was a predecessor to the Lake series - very similar in concept and outline - but the name escapes me.

Any nearer ??

Certainly the contemporary "Seabee" had the bigger Franklin........

This does not count as an attempt, keep going Folks.

[S'land]

The "successor" to this model came two years later had an extra seat and used a 190 hp Lycoming O-435 unit.

Goodyear GA-1 ?

[sycamore]

C.A.C C-1 Skimmer ?

[S'land]

Neither the Goodyear "Duck" or the C-1 Skimmer. The aircraft in question was American.

[Glory]

Really intriguing. Excellent challenge

[S'land]

Hmmm, still no takers.

It is a bit difficult to give clues to this aircraft as I have not been able to find that much information about the machine or the manufacturing company. That was one of the reasons for posting, I wanted to find out more.

As far as I can gather the company was founded in 1931 in Westchester, N.Y. and around 1946 had a slight name change and moved to Flushing, N.Y.

Bunyard Sportsman?

[S'land]

RETDPI has it, the Bunyard BAX-3 Sportsman.

All I have been able to find out about this aircraft is that in 1946 Kenneth L. Bunyard designed a lightweight amphibian Flying Boat. The BAX-3 was a three seat, all wood construction aircraft with a cantilever wing and was powered a 130 hp Franklin 5A pusher unit. a four seat version (the BAX-4) followed in 1948 powered by 190 hp O-435 pusher unit.



RETDPI has control.

[RETDPI]

Thanks S'land.
In contrast this should go quickly,

[con-pilot]

Yup, T-34, the aircraft, not the Russian tank. Open house.

I note a majority of posts are 'leaning' to props. I shall now widen the ball game. Bringing back the good old USA a/c.....................................

[dazdaz]

Sycamore.....Not so fast ....Wrong

[diesel addict]

Er ..... Fresco-D ???

[RETDPI]

"Yup, T-34, the aircraft, not the Russian tank. Open house."

Wrong,

My challenge still stands.

[con-pilot]

Wrong,

Sigh, okay, it is the Beechcraft T-34A built under license by Fuji Aircraft of Japan, called the T-3, T-5 or the T-7.

Open house.
