The tail is reminiscent of certain Italian jobs, but I can't find anything.

Hiro G2H

Took some time to find a picture, though.....

Seaside was good: good seafood and game (game, but as food though ). Average age of people there about 10 years higher than mine....

There's a good reason for that LM......

The Hiro G2H1 it is RegDep....well done.



Your control RegDep.

Glad the seaside was good....even if you were mixing with those of more senior years!

Open House

NO, I WAS NOT!

Funny, the picture I found was clearly the same as yours, but the people had been erased....

In fact, Hiro built six of the G2H1 aircraft and Mitsubishi two of the total of eight ever built.

Don't you just love the quality of images done by a graphics thingy geek?

Graeme take note.............

Mmm, struggling on this one. Is it a Rotax engine? I'm assuming its low wing, but there again, perhaps midwing?

Trade secret mate. It's an an expensive programme. My last challenge took 30 minutes to do.

I'll PM later this evening, because even fighter pilots sometimes have to eat more than razor blades and 30mm HE rounds.......

Mmm, struggling on this one.
Serves you right.....

Surely it can't be, but is this some variant of the Evans VP-2.... one with an enclosed canopy? There seem to be several different canopy options, although those I've found so far are more angular.
