Morning David....I thought this one might make a return appearance:)

So, a Russian homebuilt job? The one visible engine appears to be overwing mounted? So 2 engines?

Lightning Mate 24th Feb 2012 08:17

Yes mate - I know you saw it and my clue, so this is your chance.

Single engine with choices available, but I can find no details of which ones.

skytrain10 24th Feb 2012 08:21

Thanks David. Presumably a recent, ie 2000's design?

Lightning Mate 24th Feb 2012 08:31

Can't find any dates mate, but I reckon you're on the right lines.

Off into class for about 45 mins.

Lightning Mate 24th Feb 2012 09:07

Wanna juicy clue?

Lightning Mate 24th Feb 2012 10:49

Thanks for the clue...I think!

Mmm, not in my bumper book of Russian homebuilt aircraft:)

So, low wing, single engine, single seat homebuild, probably recent design, with a large tail!

Lightning Mate 24th Feb 2012 11:28

Look at the store name again......

Wanna modded shop pic?

If not, how about another photo of the aeroplane.

All it makes me think of is the Argo-02 which IS in my bumper book of homebuilds! So something else by Argo?

Lightning Mate 24th Feb 2012 11:37

It is the Argo 02.

You have control. :ok:

Ridge Runner 24th Feb 2012 11:40

I was thrown by the very different Fin/Rudder! :(

skytrain10 24th Feb 2012 11:53

Well a bit stumped really. The tail is totally different from what pictures I've seen and the line drawing.. Guess its an adaption of the basic design? Peril's of homebuilds - builders can change things:)

Lightning Mate 24th Feb 2012 11:54

Sorry to cause so much trouble.

Ridge Runner 24th Feb 2012 11:55

No probs ... Come on Ken, do your worst!! :)

Lightning Mate 24th Feb 2012 11:56

No......don't do that Ken. :eek:

skytrain10 24th Feb 2012 11:56


Sorry to cause so much trouble.
no probs, just one of those things:)

Will have one ready shortly.

Ridge Runner 24th Feb 2012 11:58

As long as it isn't a homebuilt/LSA!!!!! :) :)
