HP, I took a look at your interesting site and will add this: The challenge is not roadable by the definition apparently used in your site (it is not mentioned there). But there is a road aspect to its design :8.

Edit: Good morning RR and skytrain :).

Morning RD. This one is proving elusive. The usual Aerofiles searches do not seem to have got me anywhere. Plenty of "pusher's" without photo's but after research none seem to match the challenge :ugh: At least am at home today so not tied to coffee breaks!

There are a couple of pictures elsewhere, and text enough to Giggle - both in Aerofiles and elsewhere…

Truly funny: I Giggled some of its features and got almost identical looking aircraft, only 30 years younger.

Morning all. :)

I agree with Ken.:uhoh:

Can't get Aerofiles search to work at all. Anyone know the secret?

RegDep 8th Aug 2011 09:32

Morning Mate :)

Search Aerofiles via Giggle by typing the search string and then 'site:aerofiles.com'

We have had another (one of the total of two) from the same builder as a challenge before.

Although the undercarriage looks fixed is it retractable? Just wondering if this is an amphibian?

RegDep 8th Aug 2011 09:46

Not amphibian - fixed. Only one built. But there was an idea to …..

But there was an idea to …..
...make it a floatplane...

...make it a carplane...

RegDep 8th Aug 2011 09:50

…. to develop the idea to this direction……

…. amphibian….

RegDep 8th Aug 2011 09:58

Anybody for a good string?

Lightning Mate 8th Aug 2011 10:07


Anybody for a good string?
Yes...me...me...me...

RegDep 8th Aug 2011 10:12

'direction amphibian site:aerofiles.com'

And then, just for the kicks of it, Giggle 'icon a5' and go to Images.

Loving WR-2?

RegDep 8th Aug 2011 10:22

Aaa there you are Mate!

Loving-Wayne WR-2 :ok: The Missing Link between Ascender and ICON A5.

Over to you :D:D:D

Lightning Mate 8th Aug 2011 10:33

Now that WAS elusive, and no way without your clues mate.

Please stand by for an equally elusive one....

Lightning Mate 8th Aug 2011 10:39

This will be worthy of a round of applause....

Lightning Mate 8th Aug 2011 10:45

Morning Martin. :)

Nope.

I found it on the same page where I took the Emsco B-4. It was the next below it…..
