Edit:
Apologies that i jump the queue. I mixed up the 2 threads!
I think Euro340 will need to reach 10 posts begore he can post photo challenges.
As intermezzo:
I have extracted a list of Name that Flying machine challenges with help of Co-pilot (AI).
Most work is the checking required. I am now at 2/3 of the 670-700 Challenges.
Very little photos of challenges have gone missing since 2019 , but this is one of them:

What intrigues me far more is the small weights(?) hanging from the servo-paddles or whatever they're called in the same Wiki pic. Never seen that before. Anyone able to explain?

On RotorWay Exec helicopters you have to fit an 11.3kg balance weight to the aft end of one landing skid when flying two up, then move it to the front when solo to keep within the CofG in limits, those little wheels probably served a similar purpose as balance weights as well as ground handling wheels. What the weights on strings were for I have no idea.
