Just waiting for confirmation from mechta on my guess of his last challenge.

Back again, domestic duties completed and brownie points back in credit...


The RB57F reference was because LM posted this: ................. and it was the first plane that came to mind...

Well done Skytrain10, you got it, the Ruppert Canard SCM. Over to you!

Last edited by Mechta; 14th Jul 2010 at 21:31. Reason: Got the 'Air' & 'Aero' the wrong way round

Thanks Skytrain10. I adore the lightest of ultralights and microlights so I thought I knew it. I'm totally gutted that I missed the Microlight Trade Fair at Popham this year.

Sticking with the canard theme from earlier, how about this:

Hi mechta....I went to Popham last year (first time since 1998). There were some amazing looking microlights around...the trouble is its getting harder and harder to tell them apart from LSA's these days...and there seems to be an ever growing number of types.
Now you're back on the thread I'll have to steer clear of them!!

PS...have you been to the Sandown "Spamfield" microlight gathering? Looking at the numbers of aircraft it attracts its a bigger event than Popham.
