It has the size of an American pylon racer but a tricycle un-faired drag worthy under carriage which argues against it being so. University research project?

Father and son team. They built a handful of different aircraft - this is the late 80's.
This machine was designed for unlimited aerobatic competition and airshow work. Plan was to eventually install 350hp engine. These photos show 200hp.
Somewhat like Grumman - their aircraft names have "CAT" in them.
Stands for Custom Aircraft by Tomalsesky.

This is the first time I have not been able to checkout the challenge after it was named.
”Tomalsesky Acrocat Aircraft” = zero hits!

That would be the monoplane half of the Hillson Bi-Mono.
Open House should it be.

Glevum has it. A good spot! You have control.

Weir / Cieva W5, the first British (Scottish) true helicopter, 1938.


Similarity to Focke-Wulf 69 is no coincidence as the Germans licensed Cieva technology for their effort.
