Arocet AT-9 Stalker, just to say something.

OK, no. Tail wing doesn't match, tghough would have been obscure enough....

If it flew over me I would just say a PA-28 or a 'Worrier'.
Mechta, you are very very close, but its not a PA-28. I don't always go for the obscure....!

Arocet AT-9 Stalker
Had to look that one up! Love to see one of those flying over me! No, stick to the obvious!

In that case PA-32, Cherokee Six or Saratoga?

No, I'll just go for Saratoga, as Wiki tells me its the only one with tapered wings.

The PA-32R-301 Saratoga it is, so its yours Mechta . As you say the other PA-32 variants have straight wings.



Mechta has control.

Thanks Skytrain10, I now know a bit more about Spamcans thanks to everyone on here.

Sorry for the delay, I can see you're all chomping at the bit! Here's the next one. Don't all shout at once...

Well done Skytrain10 its the original Easy Riser hang glider, which was later developed into a number of microlights.

Over to you!

Thanks Mechta....could be the first hang glider we've had on SC?

Here's something a little quicker!

Close enough...its actually the CM8R Midget....the Cyclope had a smaller engine. Anyway kitbag was there first, so kitbag has control.

Silhouette Challenge - Guidelines

Several players have mutually agreed on the following guidelines for this thread. These are largely designed to avoid “stalled” threads and to reflect a common sense approach.

1. The posted image should be a silhouette of a complete aircraft. Before posting please check the sticky, "What Cockpit and What Aerodrome latest lists" to make sure your proposed challenge has not been posted before.
2. Only the person who has set the challenge may confirm that someone has correctly identified the aircraft. That person should then post their own challenge or declare Open House.
3. Only post a challenge if you are able to remain onlineor periodically check the forum. If you know you are going to be offline for some time, in the interests of other forum participants please declare Open House
4. In the event that the person posting the challenge has not responded to a guess or question within 12 hours, or someone who was the winner of the previous challenge has not posted a new challenge within 12 hours (unless they have declared Open House) then the competition will be null and void and it will become Open House.
5. Remember that we have contributors who are on substantially different time zones, so don't expect immediate responses from Australia when it’s the afternoon in Europe!
6. If things are moving slowly then please progressively add clues so that people do not lose interest.
7. Please make sure that when submitting a challenge from your own sources there is some reference to it on the web, be it a photo, artists impression or 3-view.
8. Please exercise discretion regarding precise variants and even names of aircraft. A P-51 Mustang is good enough to identify a P-51K. Similarly a Rockwell Sparrow Commander is good enough to identify a Callair A-9, and so on.

Finally there is advice for posting images on the sticky “Image Posting on PPrune” but if anyone needs additional guidance please feel free to ask.

Remember this is a bit of fun, so enjoy the forum….!
