Thanks Auxtank,

From The other threads: we have respect The 24-hr rule here as well
Perhaps there are more twin turboprops with high wing and slight V elevators?

I searched for twin turboprop with sponsons and thought it might be the Dornier/Aeritalia AAA.

Similar size and performance though one is low-wing and one is high-wing...

Well done SLB - you got the LET L-410 UVP Turbojet,
with the Walter M-601B turboprops - though earlier versions were powered by P & W PT6A-27.
It looks like a lot of fun to fly.

You have the stick.

Not fun to fly unless it's got reheat and a trigger.

Thanks Auxtank,
Let’s change to the big diversity of twin radials.

Defo hasn't got either of those F1 man - but just look at it - it's a tank, that got immersed in it's own aspirations of being able to fly...

Those spindly little wings, they're so sweet, reckon there's a goodly amount of thrust coming aft over them from those Walters...
I'd fly it - just for the fun of it - but I'd want my parachute under my arse. (dinghy too and EPIRB and silver foil stuff - but it would be well worth it)

Dook
You have the right answer.
CA-135 not such a succes in Italy but exported to Hungary and Peru. Although only six went to Peru they caused some some considerable concerns in some neighboring countries.

Tail dragger - but looking very like the Archer. Ummm!

Early Cessna, low-wing tryout before they went high-wing and tricycle.
(PPL skills being tested by the old F1 "fast boy" here...

Wait, that looks, hold it just a god damn minute....

Have it;Robin DR-250.
Check out the Stall Warning Flapper Piece on the starboard wing...it rings a tone and tells you the flutter is incoming and it's time to firewall the throttle because you have gone wrong...

Check the fin shape again.

It's not a Robin and not even European.

I fear you are Not right.
Shape of tail fin is different.
Oleo struts have fairing with Robins (silhouette not)

I think Me and you can keep on searching.

Sorry both dook and Bear.
A long night out an about, then in to quarters - followed by a wild stab in the dark.
Auxtank is now retiring with a surfeit...

Have a another look in the morning...
It does look French, however...
Fly Free!

The new silhouette thread doesn't appear to be attracting much attention.

This trainer is from Argentina and first flew in 1943.

"The new silhouette thread doesn't appear to be attracting much attention"

Interest waned when the Mods saw it as an attempt to get round the 24 hour rule.....................
