High aspect ratio - endplates with a probe on each.

Another research job?

Difficult to tell from the angle of photo. Haven't found a 3-view so not really sure on thickness.

No mention of high aspect ratio wing in the description David. The "end plates" are tip tanks.

No, it was to be a training aircraft, but never entered production.

Evening Ken,

Not too sure what to call this; my Spanish is rudimentary and the web translators give a rather difficult to interpret text.

it's one of Alfredo Turbay's last designs, a tandem-seat trainer, possibly called the Turbay T-11, built with the collaboration of Erwin May of AVEX Alaire, it may have been called the Alaire AL-1 Cacique, or even the Alaire Chief, it was registered and flown as an experimental (LV-X44). Take your pick

Evening Trevor. I would have accepted either the Turbay T.11 or the Alaire AL.1 Cacique, so either way its yours Just the one built, flown in 1970 and scrapped in the 1990's.



SincoTC has control

Bugger, missed that one, 'twas a hectic morning, I wouldn't have put that one up if I'd noticed as I guess they must all be familiar after this morning

Going to turn in now as it's a 4am start tomorrow ! Goodnight Ken
