Not Swiss.
Not Piaggio.
Not Bill Leary.

There's a video on Youtube of it taxiing and plenty of photos of it flying on the website of its owner.

Bon, monsieur RegDep, je pense que vous pouvez essayer avec la langue française (or just search JetPhotos.Net for privately owned aircraft in France...)

Evening HP,

Getting a bit late but you're light's still on

This is getting habit forming innit? I get home and find an unsolved challenge and some nice little clues to unwind with before bed!!

'Tiz the Chudzik CC-02 F-PSCK

It looks like quite a nice little device (better than it sounds); but it really needs a little jet engine and no danger of a ground-strike from the prop!

Sorry but it'll have to be another Open House, as I'm off to work in about five hours and if it's anything like today, I won't find much time to play ! It looks like the numbers are picking up a bit though and skwinty is playing his part well.

Thanks LM...
I've seen this before, and if I'm not mistaken, it was a silhouette...
Are you sure this has not been posted before?

Then why in the world I do remember that landing gear style...
Maybe you posted it and then withdrew it for some reason...

So,
a short-spanned shoulder-wing, wire-braced cruciform-tail, canopied-cockpit (?) taildragger with a big paddled prop.

A racer?
Then why the dune buggy style landing gear?
...jettisonable?

It was indeed a racing aeroplane, but the gear was not jettisonable.

Don't tell me it's retractable, because if it is, they just mounted the actuators the wrong way round!!!



I'll play chicken and go buy some chicken, see ya in a little while...
