Thanks Trevor. Just completed my kitchen duties so here we go:

Don't ask what that is under the port wing...the image was not very clear, so have done my best to replicate its appearance! Tail rudder is deflected to the starboard.

Kitchen in "cruise mode" at the moment, so there's a few minutes before it needs my attention again.

Hmm; Is it manned? Fixed gear? Jet or pusher prop? Is that bump in the fuselage top an intake, cockpit or summat else?

Limited info Trevor, but:
- not manned
- believe retractable
- jet
- air intake
Cheers

Gotta slip back into the left seat kitchen wise now and then eat, will be back later!

In the meantime, is it described as a UAV and is it an active/cancelled project or has it flown?

Evening gents! Did you have a nice day? Lawns/Gardens looking good?

Yes, my source had it as the Brutsche Freedom 40. The 180 was a very different looking machine. Well done, glad you moved on. :ok:

UAV, yes, and it has flown. The manufacturers website is still promoting it so presumably it is an active project.

American?......

Then again, there's a thingy called a BAE Demon which has exactly(?) the same looking dorsal bump/intake...? British?

Morning Graeme
Not British (or European come to that) or American mate.

G'day Graeme,

Thanks for the answer on the Freedom 40 :ok:

I think Ken's UAV is closer to you than you think!

Ken, is it the Australian Cybird V high-speed jet UAV - fighter jet target training, missile systems development test bed ??

Open House please if it is, as I've got a busy day tomorrow, not sure when and if I can play tomorrow yet!

Thanks Ken. Well, that's me done then I think.
Googling "New Jet-Powered UAVs" I found this, sorry, I'm easily distracted! :)

Ha! Nice one Trevor/Ken. Comes with a fridge for tinnies? I thought it looked sort of pedestrian compared to those stealth looking machines on the net. Funny, yet we can't even make lawn-mowers or bicycles...

Sleep well guys! :ok:

That's the one Trever, the Cyber Technologies Cybird V from Australia:ok:

And here it is in the flesh:

SincoTC has declared Open House

Different...interesting concept!

Actually I found the Cybird simply by doing a picture search for "Unmanned Aerial Vehicle"....sometimes the simplest solution is best:)

Thanks Ken,

I'll say goodnight now, gonna need that extra hour tonight, have your clocks gone back too Graeme?

Try and see you guys tommorrow (or later today :))

Cheers :ok:

Now I know that weekends are usually quiet but...............:uhoh:

BTW TC, Graeme is at the moment eleven hours ahead of us and NSW is on Daylight Saving Time.

Afternoon....as you say LM, somewhat quiet. Been out in the garden today taking advantage of the nice weather!

As it's still OH, may I offer the following:
