Morning David. Out for much of yesterday so not had the chance to look in. Is yours a racer, single seat....American maybe? Reminds me of the Riter Special, but not quite right.

Lightning Mate 22nd Apr 2012 09:52

Good morning Ken - nice to see someone out to play. :)

This aeroplane is European - a homebuild - and is quite fast.

Single-seat.

If we can get to the country you will find it in no time.

Listening out...............

edit: not a racer

1996......

Classified as an ultralight.

Lightning Mate 22nd Apr 2012 11:58

Well that was an uphill battle...
This, I feel, is a rather steeper hill. :uhoh:

Difficult to say, but I believe there are some features of this aircraft that point to it's maker. To help you along, European.

Lightning Mate 22nd Apr 2012 14:44

British?.....

skytrain10 22nd Apr 2012 14:57
