Standby Ken - I'm just trying to get him back here from another thread.

By all means. Ken, you have the thread. :)

Thanks Graeme....here's the next one:

Going offline for a while.....to reduce the searches, its classed as a LSA, not American.

Just Ctrl+F and type Boyero and you'll see it. RR

Is the challenge also available in kit form?

Yes it is, despite its classification as a LSA:ok: Another source refers to it as an ultralight.

Sorry mate - I have to depart the fix and set track for the kitchen.

Clue for the night shift...a French design from the 2000's.

Hi Ken.

French? Possibly an Aurore product. The Mini Bulle MB 02-2?

Afternoon Ken,

Sleep well and have a good Sunday Graeme :)!!

Dunno what the exact differences are and Graeme's call may well be on the money, but I think it looks more like the Souris-Bulle MB04 ??

Afternoon all....sorry Graeme, not the MB-02, but you are very close.

However....

That's because it is:ok:

SincoTC has control

'artnoon Ken. :)

Methinks TC is in his nice new office doing other things on his huge computer. I had the pleasure of seeing it.

Thanks Ken, you're not far wrong there LM :ok:

Here's my new challenge! (sorry about the quality but it was a small original)

Edit:


Off home now, will be back online in about an hour

Swiss?.............

Looks a bit like the BAC Drone - but not sure about the fin..........

Not Swiss LM and not the BAC Drone DA, but it does look similar!

Not a lot of info on this one, but it's a Polish Motor Glider

Hi Trevor...there is some commonality with the AMA motorglider? 1950's era rather than pre WWII?

Edit, I wonder, is this the ZASPL Osa?

Evening Ken,

Hmm, I'm a little lost on this one as there's so little data, it is on a well known (to me :E) website, but I'm pretty certain that you know it and maybe have even used it, but in this case, the Data Section is full of question marks!!

The only positive thing I can say is that it was designed by an amateur Wieslaw Rogala after 1945

Funnily enough I was just doing a search on the Weissa motorglider when I saw your reply...sounds like it could be something designed by someone called Wieslaw:)?

I thought I was using the same one as you, but as there is no mention of Mr Rogala on it, maybe not!

Have you seen my edit above? I think the site may have changed, I found this one on a section devoted to amateur designers.

I'm just going offline for about fifteen minutes, I will put my light on when I get back.

Breaking off myself now....back later.

Evening!

Just the one built Trevor? Can you give us a year?

Morning Graeme,

Sorry, all Ithat's known is that it's post '45.

Strictly speaking the answer is already out of the bag and it only really need finding on the web. For that you really need to help Giggle out by using our dear friend Heikki's method of searching in the site's native language as motor-glider won't find it :)

Edit: just swapping houses, back in fifteen min!

Wow! Takes much longer here with banks, solicitors, inspections, cooling-off period - can take months.

:)

How do ya do that? I've got a search box (for text) then next to it is a little magnifying glass (search) and next to that is a picture of a little house (maybe that's for house swapping?:)).

(PS- Love to know how ya upload and post those YouTube clips too).

Mental picture...man (elderly :)) on the run from the police. Armed with a shotgun and systematically breaking into houses and using the occupants computer...to play silhouette challenge, briefly, then moving onto the next house.

Terrible life mate, give it up Trevor! Turn yourself in. I'm sure they have computers in prison.

All swapped and back now, we just have slick conveyancers here mate :p

Instead of searching for something in English when the likely location of the source is a site like Airwar or Aviafrance, where they don't have an English version of their site, I just use Giggle Translate to find out what, for example motor-glider is in German or Polish (the most likely sites for that kind of aircraft) and then copy and paste that word into the normal search box. Don't forget to check the Image tab too as it's easier to spot than a mass of Web pages!

You can then go one stage further by using the search whatever text inurl:Site url e.g. Pusher inurl:aerofiles.com will return a list of Aerofile entries with the word pusher in them in

OK! I'm on it...always willing to learn!

So...I'll try punching in " Wieslaw Rogala Silnik Płyną (prowadzić) samolotem "...

Thought I'd come back for another look. Could it be that simple....? How about the Rogala Motor-glider?:)

No, it can't, now piss off Ken! I'm having a private tutorial here! :)

Welcome back Ken,

:ok::ok::ok:

I was hoping you'd find the page, but that'll do for me

Skytrain10 has control

Dammit Trevor! You're going too fast! It's all too much. I just want to recognise the bastard! :)

I'm done.

Sorry Ken, you were saying?

Continuing the tutorial :)

keep it simple Graeme, just giggle "rogala motoszybowca" (motor-glider in Polish) and check the image tab!

Motoszybowiec Rogali (PL)

Found that site earlier, but couldn't navigate it.

Thanks.

:)

Blimey, wasn't really expecting that! Must admit the only translator I've ever used is Babel Fish, which doesn't include a Polish translation option. Looks like I will have to expand my knowledge:)

Haven't got anything ready, so if you've got something Graeme, go for it:ok:

Incidentally Trevor, must admit I would never have thought of the TU-144 on challenge...mind you never been close enough to the back end of one...just assumed the engines were more Concorde like!

No mate, not at present. Heading off to the Sunday Markets shortly, so I'll catch you later.

Sleep well. :)

Enjoy the markets mate...perhaps you'll find a good book on Polish post-war motor-gliders:)

Well have just quickly prepared this one, so here goes:

http://i551.photobucket.com/albums/i...r/70fac89b.jpg

Yes, it's another pusher...

Ken, I think that particular site (we were thinking of the same one?) also has a German version, so Motorsegler Rogala will also work! Not Tried Babel Fish, but I find Google Translate very useful and simple to use.

I agree about the Tu-144, which is why I chose it :E! I think most peoples mental picture of it are from the front!

Off to take my little friend walkies now afore bed, so I'll wish you goodnight :ok:

No, I was using a different site which is in French or English, hence couldn't find any reference to the Rogala/Rogali motorglider. Now Graeme has posted the link I'll add that one to my list as well!
Incidentally, PM coming to you shortly re the TU-144.
Good night:ok:

Incredible luck at the markets today Ken! :ok:

Close?....

We're all doomed, doomed I tell you :uhoh::uhoh:!!

Looks like a good buy Graeme :ok:, so good bye, off to walk the mutt:)
