G'day Sycamore

Thanks mate. I just had another look.

As you can tell, I know jack **** about cockpits and it shows. I can never guess what they are but I enjoy looking for them, however, lately I can't seem to do anything right with them. I scanned a host of X-plane cockpits recently but obviously my "secret" tagging system is crap.

You are absolutely right, it is NOT the X-5.

Another X.

My sincere apologies. I will return to WC and try to
save face. Maybe a show of hands if I should stay on that thread?! LOL.

Cheers,
Graeme.

Sorry Sycamore, NutherA2, Fitter2 and anyone else watching, it is not the Bell X-5 or a Bell product...but it is an X-plane....:ugh::O

Exactly as it appears in my book Graeme:ok:

Here's something a little more basic:

Looks like a little help is needed - this aircraft dates from the 1960's and can still be purchased today.

Not a Brit Graeme - try the US. A very popular design!

Okay, okay, I'll bite. The Evans VP-1 Volksplane ? And no, I don't own one, nor have I flown one, but I would like to..

Good call, it is indeed the Evans VP-1:ok:...and suitably appropriate that you got it!
Over 6000 plans sold since 1969, and still available today 41 years later.

Your control evansb.

Thanks! That was fun. I looked at FREDs, a Baby Ace, Heaths, Pietenpols, several gyroplanes and many Pou du Ciels before the Volksplane. Here is the next mystery cockpit:

bri,

That light-weight tubing reminds me of Scheibe gliders and motor gliders, but I cannot find a match. Am I close?

Not a glider, nor a motor glider. The company never made either. The aircraft was in serial production.
