Did you find the Bucker Bu.181/II on the Forked Ghosts site?

I still can't find it.

That's where I found it David, but as usual a pretty crude drawing and not enough detail to confirm and ID! Tend not to use that site, other than as a last resort!

Is yours Russian David?

Russia was the easy bit...they produce quite a few 2 engine microlights! Presume this is a one-off?

Dunno if it's a one-off. Certainly plans were available and I found one up for sale.

edit: there are also several around as gliders.

In fact my challenge was the LTV L.450F which was able to be flown as a manned aircraft or UAV. The XQM-93 was developed from this, and did not have a cockpit.
My sincere apologies..."Kenneth".
Never trust a colonial.

Well, I took the last OH and have no wish to be a hog - unless you want something hilarious by way of some fun.
