OK, ta. So what's all the "biplane" stuff? First its there, then its not....... RR
If you read back mate, Graeme asked for a non-biplane, so I obliged and changed my challenge. You have to sometimes just put up with Aussies!

Edit to say - and Germans!

Good Afternoon all,

First time on since Friday, been real hectic and still is!

LM, is your SC a Silvertone Flamingo (maybe F-08 Carla) ??

If it is, I'm afraid that it'll have to Open House as I'm out now for the rest of the day, sorry.

Well, I'm really confused!!!! What is the challenge????
You and me both RR - just checked in to see what's happening with the biplane only to see a photo of a UAV.

At the risk of confusion, I will now change the challenge then.....
Not being rude guys, but if you're constantly live watching SC its fine to make image changes but for those of us who can only periodically check IT IS confusing - besides which certain of us may well have been looking for the biplane offline - its a bit disconcerting (not to mention a waste of time) to come back only to find the challenge has been changed!!!

Ken,

You are of course absolutely right - my fault entirely so a big apology.

I won't in future succumb......

In the meantime, TC has hit the button and has declared Open House.

Thanks LM, sorry to winge but I've wasted a good 45 mins today looking first at Graeme's retracted challenge, and then yours.

A very valid whinge if you ask me.

C'mon RR, it's most unlike you to be slow responding to an OH.

Graeme

In this picture there are, among other types, two Tuiskus.



I think they had wheels or skis, but not wheel fairings. Could be wrong, too.

The challenge should be easy (sic!) because of the shape of the rear part of the fuselage which almost seems to bend upwards. Cannot be so many around, but.....
