Thanks LM, I normally only achieve a 50% rating witwize!!

"you old west country bugger!" Steady on now I've only been down here half my life, was born in Wales where my folks were waiting for me to hatch and then went to Essex.

I like the new style silhouette. I guess it must have a T-tail then?

I think I may have resolved my last query regarding the tail.

I think it's the prototype Margański & Myslowski EM-11 Orka (SP-MEO) with a T-tail as I suspected, maybe later ones have a lower tail?

Excellent shooting Mate.

Curtain up, lights, music, you have control.

Is this a homebuilt aircraft LM? I'm guessing from the style of the wing tip its a fairly recent design?

Re the EM-11 Orka....managed to work that one out....sadly 15 mins AFTER Sinco!

Good evening skytrain.

Yes, this is built as a kit. About nine years old.

Nothing that I've found so far comes close ...there is an element of Comp Air about the fuselage. I think I'll leave this one to the night shift. Time to hit the hay now, so good night to all our readers!

Morning all.

We don't seem to have a night shift anymore.

Got your PM RR - many thanks.

The challenge aeroplane is American, and the manufacturer now imports into the UK.

When I type its' name into Goggle, I get lots of pictures of motorcycles.

Hi RR.

Well, the bikes which keep pitching up are, I believe, Harleys.

However, the aeroplane ain't. Must rush off again - I think another clue will be called for in an hour.

Perhaps its something like a (make) Easy Rider?

And having gone down that line, yesterday I found a photo of the folding wing Reality Aircraft Easy Raider, the tail is right, but the fuselage doesn't look right.

Thinking again, perhaps it is the Easy Rider, but with a different engine/cowling?
