You know I like my GA! I did look at the previous challenge but didn't really have any time to think about it. Mind you, it wasn't from my favourite era!

Talking of which it must be time for another seaplane.....

That doesn't look too old....
...and rudders on the floats too - fairly unusual.

You're right, it doesn't look too old!

Not an expert on floats, but don't you need the rudder for taxiing (or whatever the term is on water)?

Rudders on floats certainly help with taxying, and they are connected to the aircraft main rudder, but not many floatplanes have them fitted.

It was/is a favourite of Cessna, but this ain't a Cessna.

Ah ok...and you're right again, its not a Cessna.

wot, like this mate?http://www.airplanemart.com/aircraft...n-Aircraft.jpg

DHC like them as well! Nice Beaver (so to speak)!

oo er... another ...http://www.bush-planes.com/images/Mu...FloatsLeft.jpg

coming thick and fast.....

Y'know something skytrain?

I don't think this is a Yank.

.....and many of the floats in the USA are made by Wipaire.

Well I guess there's a lot of floatplanes with rudders around!

Back to the challenge aircraft....you're right for the third time LM.

THerefore its a scandic machine???

That's like taking placebos - you simply feel better, but they don't actually help.

Not from Scandinavia RR

You need to look at this in a more positive light....you have:
- speculated that it doesn't look old....which I have agreed with;
- said its not a Cessna, which I have agreed with;
- ruled out some 30% of the worlds aircraft;
- and now RR has ruled out a further 1 or 2% of the worlds aircraft

Now, surely thats made things a little easier!!

Maybe I'm mad but could it be a ruskie? There are few places where they need floatplanes. Of course, it could be Canadian!!!! So, I'll plump for a canuck and I'll get searching again!!!

I can rule out another several percent.

This one's got twin wing struts. :(

meaning ?

Lots have only one, so this might be bigger than we think - that's all.

RR....you're not mad....it is from one of the 2 countries you've mentioned.
