Looking at the flared profile of the cowling and the side view showing four exhaust stubs, is it an inverted V-8, maybe an Argus As-10 ?

1930's German?

Noyade 9th Jan 2012 22:54

It's British Trevor.

SincoTC 9th Jan 2012 23:21

My initial thought were for British, but I got drawn away 'coz of the cowl! in that case, I think it's an inverted Cirrus.

Going to turn in soon as it's gone midnight and gotta be up soon!!

Couldn't resist a quick look before turning in :)!

I think it's a Spartan Three Seater II ? Open House please if correct, as I'm hitting the hay now, or I won't get my four hours worth :zzz:!

Have a good day mate :ok:

Taylor Coot ?

SincoTC 10th Jan 2012 15:55

Coo, a response :)!!

Good morning evansb,

You have correctly identified it as being an amphibious pusher, but it's not a Coot

KO-10 Sea Witch?

SincoTC 10th Jan 2012 16:21

Sorry sabredog, not a Sea Witch!

Edit: Back soon guys, don't all rush :)!!

SincoTC 10th Jan 2012 22:59

A little clue is probably in order, it's from the last decade of the last century and the power is supplied by a Rotax 582.

evansb 11th Jan 2012 17:44

I'll say it is an early SeaRey Amphibian...

SincoTC 11th Jan 2012 17:53

Still no guesses, not been many players around though :{!!

Some more clues to help weed it out from the plethora of Rotax powered amphibious ultralights!!

It's American, a two-seater and is old complete or in kit form.

It offers "Spectacular pilot and passenger visibility" (that's because it's Open Cockpit :))!

It has retractable landing gear for water operation.

Removable wings (typically takes two people half an hour)

Part of its name usually refers to a small pleasure boat (sail, small motor or oars)

Good Luck :ok:

Edit: Sorry Brian, you posted while I was typing! It's not a SeaRey

TheiC 11th Jan 2012 18:20

The aeroskiff?

OH if correct please...

SincoTC 11th Jan 2012 18:47

That's the one TheIC :D

The Aerolites AeroSkiff

TheIC has requested an Open House :ok:

Cubs2jets 12th Jan 2012 03:05

Been a while. Lets see if I can make this work.

A bit larger than I anticipated, but she sure is a looker...


C2j

SincoTC 12th Jan 2012 22:52

Hi Cubs2jets, welcome back :ok:

Had a long day today and my first chance of a look in!

Maybe an Aeronca Model 9 Arrow ??

Edit:
I'm gonna hit the hay right now, so to give the rest of the world a chance to play, please call Open House if correct.
