Good morning Reg.

Do the wings fold?

[RegDep]

Hi Mate

My source does not say so directly, but there is every reason to believe that they do.

[Lightning Mate]

Thanks mate.

Is it an Aichi?

Back at 1015 Prune time.

[RegDep]

Not an Aichi Mate.

Sorry, need to go.

It was the planned Zero successor Mitsubishi A7M Reppu.

...production was disrupted by an earthquake in December 1944 in the Nagoya region, and by Allied bombing, with only eight aircraft completed by the end of the war. The type never saw combat.

Open House

I may drop by briefly over the weekend, otherwise back on Tuesday.

I'd say it has some "Hayabusa" about it. Close, Reg?

Morning, by the way!!!!!!!

[RegDep]

Sorry, posts crossed. See above.

Good morning and see you RR!

[Lightning Mate]

Good morning Martin.

You are unusually quiet.......

[Ridge Runner]

An LSA, David?

[Lightning Mate]

No Martin, and before you ask, it's not a homebuilt either.

[Ridge Runner]

David, Is it a re-engined version of a more well known design? M

[Lightning Mate]

No Martin, but it was produced with several versions of power units.

Shortly after certification, the company went out of business.

Would you like the country?

[Ridge Runner]

Yes please!

Would it be South African?

[Lightning Mate]

Long way off!!

You might care to look at Canada........

[Ridge Runner]

A Found machine?

[Lightning Mate]

You've almost Found it...........

[Ridge Runner]

[Ridge Runner]

Centennial 100?

[Lightning Mate]

It sure is - the tailwheel version.

I'll leave you to declare the OH, but only you and I are on thread.

[Ridge Runner]
