Then is it one of your weird Yank concoctions from the USMC or something?
Oh, you mean like the Garrett Stamp awhile back? No. But it is an unusual vehicle.

If it's any consolation, I found skytrains picture in "Fright Archives", but rejected it 'coz it didn't have the fairing behind the cockpit and the caption said it had a 20hp flat-twin!!! By journalists never could get the details right.

Well done on the M2-F1

Hi, Noyade, Thanks SincoTC! Knew what it had to be; googled 'shuttle test flight bathtub' and there it was.

Lightning Mate: Nice tail wheel. Would you build one like that?

Almost all metal I think. Very little information on it, and only this photo.

Wanna picture of a borehole?
