A birthday present for you all,as it`s my birthday....just back from the pub....
I have.flown this in the USA......
+6-3 normal limits....
There are some Piper parts in there, but I cannot make out what it could be. Is it a kit-built aircraft or has it been in production?
Happy birthday by the way!

j,thank you,39 (again)!.....not homebuilt,but limited production...
What do we know?
mid '70s to mid '80s
Tandem 2 seat trainer thus military application
Low/medium power normally aspirated piston engine (no redline on manifold gauge)
Not fast - VNe 200Kts, Vmo 150
Retractable tricycle gear
Edit.
The blue tint of the panel sent me East and encouraged by the very similar Czech UTVA Lasta I found the PZL M26 Iskierka.
What a smashing little toy. I want one!

Nail,head,hit..Mel..
A very comfortable aircraft to fly with a good performance,considering it has Seneca wings,tail,u/c ,engine...only 14 built..
there are a few videos on u-tube of it doing aeros,which it does very well..progenitor of the Orlik...
Over to you MEL.

I'll have one too! The rudder pedals and gear lights, as well as some other stuff, were clearly Piper. As they had no military trainers in their line-up I went and looked abroad. I did find the T-35, but didn't know that the Seneca had been built under licence. Learned something today.
I thought you hawks would have noticed the engine oil/temp/pressure /cht gauge familiar on most `Soviet ` influenced aircraft,as ,whilst looking standard,it is `colour-coded as well/,even on jets....Dulux must do well with that blue paint..!
Always thought it interesting that when Microsoft/IBM were looking at a background colour for various versions of Windows they landed on almost exactly the same shade of blue as the Russians had done years before - restful and a very good background to place other information
Of course some Apple freaks think this proves that MS & Bill gates were in fact part of the Evil Empire...............

As `mel` hasn`t taken up the cudgels,then I think it`s time for` Open House.......`
We could have declared Open house after 48hrs when there would be consensus from multiple posters. But Dook is not in “consensus”
Let’s wait till 72 hrs.
Then Mel could always take up a future Open house.

I just thought he may have had a valid reason for not posting such as being hospitalised or a family problem. It has happened before.
However, three days have now passed so I will go along with OH.
