The thing is though that when I clicked "Submit Reply" I got a message along the lines of "Your post will not be visible until reviewed". A short time later Tu-114's post appeared with no sign of mine.
Is this because of my probationary status? Anyway, here's another...

Very likely - i certainly saw Tu.114 's reply before yours. i seem to remember something similar when I started posting.

Toyo TT-10 for your current challenge ?

Cheers Doug

OK, thanks for that info Doug.

Doug, that's impressive! From a fifties Jane's, I thought that might have been a stumper!

All yours mate.

Noyade ...yes my source was 1950s too , although not Janes.

Seems high wing single prop lightplanes and modern kit-builds have so many look-alikes that at least people have to take time sorting through all the sources, so here is another one of the former...........

Not sure if its just me, but I'm not seeing your images...

I'm sure i could see 'em before.

John :confused:

No problems here seeing One11's pictures. If you are using Adblock it is worth checking to see if you have pictures from One11 blocked.

Regarding the current challenge, let's start the ball rolling with an Aeronca K.

No problems viewing the image from down under.

Lycoming/Continental powered Auster?

Drawbarz .....Image was loaded via Photobucket same as all mine so far, so maybe the problem is at your end...

S'Land , Noyade Sorry not an Auster or Aeronca.

Doug

Somehow this plane makes me look to Denmark... By any chance the Kramme and Zeuthen KZ-VII?

F.M.A.20 El Boyero.

Ciarain.

Doug,

It is at this end. I am at work and for some strange reason known only to the IT department they are blocking your photobucket...I can log on to mine and all the other images are appearing on the thread...and as usual the IT guys are out to lunch...

I'll have to wait til I get home before I can play..:{

Re. post 2009. A Taylorcraft?

Luscombe 8?

With the possible assistance of Drawbarz' IT department, the winner is .....
Kieron Kirk - who has control

Argentine FMA.20 or Petrolini EL Boyero 65 hp Continental powered, designed 1939 - in production from 1947

one11,

One of the consequences of having been a member of the Royal Observer Corps!

Good and obscure post!

Can I throw it open for the next post?

Ciarain.

New one...

I'm sorry to jump ahead and I don't mean to disturb your policies but I will be absent on business for several days and I was anxious to challenge this silhouette if somebody can see it.
carson1934

Am I right in thinking that Noyade's challenge is still open and, therefore, the one to go for?

If so may I suggest the Porterfield 35?

Sorry S'land, not a Porterfield, but it was American. Despite the promising brochure blurb which included the line "The finest light airplane on market regardless of price", only one was built in 1938 and it was eventually donated to a local high school as a vocational airframe.

Is the design related to Luscombe, Monocoupe, or the Howard DGA-6?

Silhouette Challenge / General
 

Wendt W-1-400 Falconer. If so open-house.

Of late it seems that this forum has become a testing ground for image posting, to a point where I am at risk of losing interest not to mention losing track as to what is a challenge and what is a test! Even now there appear to be 2 live challenges.

I certainly do not want to offend anyone, and I am not aware of the history of the competition before I started contributing last year. However I am sure I am not the only one who has observed the deviation in recent weeks from what was, in my view, an excellent competition.

Dazdaz...I know you started this competition so I hope you take these comments in the spirit that they are intended.

Kind regards
Ken

Correct.

The 3-view and two photos under my name are all of the Wendt W-1. I thought a couple of photos from different angles might aid in its identification. My apologies if it only caused confusion and I won't repeat the mistake.

With the Wendt sourced then the only "live" challange remaining, by my reackoning, would be Mr Carson's rather poor diagram of a paper Piaggio bomber project?

Yes Noyade it is a poor diagram but that's all I had to offer.
Spot on: it is indeed an unbuilt project derivative of the Piaggio P/133 which on armstice day (Sept.9th 1943) was 90% completed (the latter not the former).
So Noyade you carry on
carson1934

May I comment and say that I don't share Skytrain's opinion that this forum is becoming a testing ground for posting.
Noyade merely meant to expand his views and considerations by just adding posts #2024 and #2026 and frankly I don't see how this could harm the forum's
integrity and excellence.
If somebody is to blame it's me who jumped in with an extra post thrown in for reasons already mentioned and for which I already apologized.
We are all trying to abide by the forum's rules and regulations.

In reply to Carson1934


Looks like a Breda BZ 308

Sorry Irishair it isn't the Breda BZ-308 (another unfortunate bird which should have been the italian connie). Noyade gave the correct answer with post #2028.
Cheers
carson1934

carson1934, do you mean to say your diagram is of a Piaggio P.136?

Here is the next challenge;
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r.../WSH090601.jpg

I don't think it was ever given an official denomination or number it is a derivative of an aircraft which was 90% built by Sept. 9th 1943 then subsequently demolished and this was to be called P.133.
carson1934

Clues: Only one built, presently in a museum.

G'day Evan, possibly the Kawasaki KAL-2?

Hi Evansb
too difficult for me I'll have to wait till I have built up a culture on this light sport planes. Besides Noyade is too strong...
carson1934

Sorry, not a Kawasaki KAL-2. Not Japanese. The company that built the mystery aircraft is defunct.

Hi Evansb,

Just had a rush of blood to the head I think...:confused:

Is it the Southern Cross Aviation SC-1...i think that was what it was called anyway.

John

It seems you got it 100% correct John! Congratulations!
(I have been searching for it for about two hours, evidently to no avail, alas)

We must patiently wait for Evansb confirmation, anyway.

All the best, Paolo

drawbarz is correct:ok: Well done:D Your turn to post.

Thank you, I'm running out of ideas...you're all too good!

Lets try this:
