Heikkis' Silhouette Challenge

[skytrain10]

Ah ah...I have a Cub look-a-like lined up for a future challenge! Are we looking at a modern day machine...European design?

[Ridge Runner]

Modern day.. not European ....

[skytrain10]

Is the aircraft in "standard" config? I say that as the exhaust location is quite distinctive and was just wondering if that's how it was/is built or is it an "add-on"? Don't want to waste my time looking at Neiva's, Aero Boero etc!

[Ridge Runner]

Original, Ken.

time looking at Neiva's, Aero Boero etc

I suggest you don't

[skytrain10]

Ok thanks, so if not European, then logically from the US? Or perhaps South America?

[Ridge Runner]

Not american, Ken!

Edit: I'm out for a Xmas do tonight so won't get on SC.. would you like clues or can it wait until tomorrow if its not solved by 1730?

[skytrain10]

Give us another clue before going! I'm busy this evening too so won't have much opportunity to look in. If you're ok if I (or someone else) identifies it and its supported by someone else, are you happy for us to move on?

Not European or American...that limits things a litte...Russian? Is it in production now, or a kit plane?

yes, no problem.

One clue: a slight russian connection - but also chinese! But not from either. One produced so far, I think.

[skytrain10]

SAFAT 01 from Sudan I believe.

[Ridge Runner]

ah ha.... that's the one mate!!!!! You have control!

[Ridge Runner]

I must go, mate!! Night, night...... RR

[skytrain10]

Thanks Martin. In fact we've had the SAFAT 01 before...I thought it sounded familiar!

Next one....European origin

[Noyade]

Evening Ken.

French mate?

[skytrain10]

Morning Graeme...yes French...1950's.

[Noyade]

I'm wrong, the tail looked familiar, but that's about all.

[Karlark]

Are you sure that it is not the Max Plan PF.204?

[Noyade]

Max Plan PF.204

G'day Karlark. Mine is. But Ken's front looks very different?

[Noyade]

Max Plan PF.204

Just googled. It is. Monologued again!

[skytrain10]

I was wondering whether the different nose would puzzle you....yes of course it is the PF-204....in a different form!

Your control Karl

[Karlark]

Then again, the tailheel looks a little suspect...

I think Noyade new what it was, so if credit is due, it should be his.

Edit... or open house.

Cheers Ken
