How about the ATEC 321 Faeta?

Assuming correct will have to be Open House as won't be able to monitor.

Sinco, just notice your comment...

Yours looks like skytrain territory to me!
Much prefer WWI biplanes myself!!:) Only joking!! Wish I'd paid more attention to the undercarriage and tail...now I've looked at pictures of the DA40 I can see the obvious differences!

Hi skytrain,

Well, it seems like you did get it pretty quickly doesn't it! I've been offline for a while re-locating (doing dog/housesitting this week).

I see you're back in Luxemburg again, does the radio still fade out in the evenings? (you may be just too young to know what I'm talking about :))

I had a go in a Diamond Twin-Star last year, glass cockpit, proper joystick, very slippery airframe and a diesel to boot. Very impressive, especially SFC.

Have a good trip home!

. That goes back a bit, yes I'm aware of it., but not even sure if they exist any more on AM? Wasn't there also something about Horace and Keynsham.....from the early 60's I guess?

TwinStar...a friend of mine has a 50% share in one...keep trying to get a lift back to Wales in it! One day maybe.

Closing down now, early start tomorrow.

Pressurized cabin research?

Ridge Runner 21st Jan 2011 10:16

More correctly the aircraftshown was used in a record breaking attempt (endurance). Thereafter a modified model (same name and designation) was proposed as a single-seat trainer for the military.

Lightning Mate 21st Jan 2011 12:06

Ten minute lunch break.

Was the engine a Cirrus?

Ridge Runner 21st Jan 2011 12:10

no mate, sorry

Ridge Runner 21st Jan 2011 15:46

Ridge Runner 21st Jan 2011 16:18

I'll try to log in on the Blueberry a little later!

RegDep 21st Jan 2011 16:24

That fits to Toyota Landcruiser :{

Italian S.A.I.7 (Well, the description was ok, just hadn't seen the photo yet :sad:)

MReyn24050 21st Jan 2011 18:09

I believe it is a CUKURS C.6, also known as the Sugar C.6

Looks like you were correct Mel.

Looked at Latvians, because some of them looked much like this, as well as some Russians from the same time, but missed this alltogether. My source on Latvians said the the Cukurs C.6 had 135 hp de Havilland Gipsy and the Cukurs C.6bis was a two-seat dive-bomber (280 hp Hispano Suiza, granted). But it were not the clues that kept me from finding it :(. Just missed it. Good pictures in the net, too. Good challenge!
