Evening Gents, and greetings from Luxembourg.

Would this be the Lisa Akoya semi-amphibious aircraft?

YouTube - Lisa Airplanes - Akoya Light Sport Aircraft

Will have to be OH if correct.

Evening RD. I have a challenge ready but it would be unfair to post as I wont have the opportunity to monitor.
I'll check in again tomorrow evening and see what's happening.
Good night

Open House has been requested.

To whom it may concern: I am not going to take the OH because that would prevent LM from playing.

'Tag Reg,

Regarding Silhouettes; I'm in the same position as you, I can't do them at the moment and will have to get it sorted soon.

Here's something LM can play with, It's not very good I'm afraid and I doubt it'll last very long!

Bugger, forgot to crop the background, it'll have to do as I'm back to work now, but will keep an eye on things!

Morning John,

Not Polish I'm afraid, but at least that's another country ticked off the list

it looks like it has a window ahead of the cockpit? It carried passengers?

No windows show in photo's and it's described as a single-seater.

What's shown is possibly a fuel tank between the wing supports, but dunno really!

No mains power for two hours.

Was this aeroplane modified for some kind of record?

Looks like it has an unusual amount of sweepback for its' type and year.

Oh dear,

You know the year!! That's more than I've been able to find out, but it's obviously 'tween the wars!

No record attempts mentioned, it did have a specific "testing" purpose, but was otherwise regarded as a good handling sporting type.

Just a question: What happened to Albatros 61 through 64? Or the two L 67s?
