Looking at Wiki's map of Europe - Russia? Do they make those kind of aircraft?

Lightning Mate 19th Mar 2012 10:12

Not Czech or Russia, but it is from a former USSR state - that borders Poland:ok:


Say, last five years?
I believe so, although I cannot confirm as there is little information on when it was built - it certainly only flew within the last 5 years.

Edit, first registered in 2009

Slovakia ?

skytrain10 19th Mar 2012 10:57


Slovakia ?
Uh, no...see my last post:)

Lightning Mate 19th Mar 2012 10:59

Apologies, but Czechoslovakia and Slovakia are not the same are they?

Ukraine?

True mate, but they're not former USSR states - mind you the Russians did try after the war:)

Not Ukraine.

Do you want to see a photo?

Kensgaila VK-9 ?

skytrain10 19th Mar 2012 12:07

Good call David:ok: Yes, it is the Lithianian Vlado Kensgailos VK-9 which is amazingly, a homebuild! Only the one built, or at least known of, which first flew in 2009. A good video on You tube here:

A very nice one, Ken!!!!!! :)

skytrain10 19th Mar 2012 13:15

Glad you both liked my challenge. David is yours the Fauvel AV.2?

Lightning Mate 19th Mar 2012 13:19

Not a Fauvel Ken.

mmm....I'll give you that one - it's just that I have it listed as something else, the Chauvet. :uhoh:

Another case of two different names!

Your control Ken.

skytrain10 19th Mar 2012 14:13

Thanks David. Not heard of the Chauvet name but as is often the case with light and experimental aircraft, as you say two different names (or sometimes more) for the same machine.

A 3-view for a change:
