Good call on the Saiman Graeme - the tail was so like to Baldo I assumed there had to be a connection, hence my suggestion.

Is yours the PZL-104 Wilga prototype?

This is becoming a little hard to follow, and I don't want to spoil your day, so my challenge was the original PZL 104 Wilga Mark 1, which proved to be a bit of a disaster so they had a major rethink and came up with the now much more familiar Wilga Mark 2 with the radial engine.

OPEN HOUSE.

Cheers.

EDIT
Is yours the PZL-104 Wilga prototype?
Your control Ken.

How come we had that time glitch on the previous page, but none with this one?

All looks OK now - a Prune glitch methinks.

I'm sure we've had this one before? (I even thought the Saiman was a repeat).

No?

Can't recall the Saiman before. Mine is not on Mel's list so hopefully we've not had it. Not Italian.

Great minds, or was it the flag? Yes, American...a one-off design from the 60's.

Not specifically described as such but I guess it would fall in to that category.

Hi Martin...yes, still appears to be timing problems. Don't really understand why they have these issues. It does make life confusing!

Try re-posting your challenge Ken, and see if it comes up in sequence.

No relationship I'm sure, but I thought of the Anderson Greenwood and looking at the code for that on Aerofies, would this get us closer?...

1pCmwM - and perhaps with "pusher" added?
