1970s! So that's not a gun position up front?

No, not a gun position.

2 seat side-by-side?

Lightning Mate 15th May 2012 16:23


I am not entirely sure if it was built in Russia, or a former Soviet state,
although I believe the latter
Might that have been East Germany as it was?

2 seat side-by-side?
Correct:ok:


Might that have been East Germany as it was?
No, definitely what was the USSR.

Another clue....the engine was Czech.

Lightning Mate 15th May 2012 16:53

I'm out on this one and running around in circles.

I see three others on line so I'll check back later to see if any of them have found it.

Lightning Mate 15th May 2012 19:42

That looks like a no.

skytrain10 15th May 2012 20:58


That looks like a no
Certainly looks that way...nobody around at present. Will look in a little later and put up a further clue for the night shift.

skytrain10 15th May 2012 21:53

Further clues....1974 design. Tail and wings came from a KAI-12 glider.

Closing down now for the night. Usual rules apply:ok:

A'rtnoon Graeme :)

It looks to me like you've nailed it mate :D:D; a case of Library 1 Internet 0, but I wonder if it's got an alias 'coz I still can't find the bugger :\:\ :O:

Gotta go now as work calls so can't search anymore!

Noyade 16th May 2012 07:01

Thanks mate, didn't google for me either, but I'm sure there's a simple explanation. Even if it is, it'll have to open house as I have a few computer issues and I'm cooking Sushi tonight. :ok:

Cheers.

Lightning Mate 16th May 2012 07:02


.... Internet 0....
Still can't find it, so I assume it has another name.

edit:


and I'm cooking Sushi tonight.
c o o k i n g Sushi????

skytrain10 16th May 2012 08:03

Morning all/evening Graeme.
It is the RKIIGA-74, aka Riga-74, so Graeme has it:ok: If you google it you'll find pictures. Graeme's photo unfortunately identifies it as the RK11GA-74 which has no doubt lead to drawing a blank on a internet search.

Non-traditional Sushi mate. Marinated cooked chicken in chilli and/or teriyaki sauce, mixed with roasted/barbecued vegetables - zucchini, carrot, capsicum, chillies, pumpkin, etc and squeezed out using a Sushi gun....

Watch going to drink with it then?

Noyade 16th May 2012 09:25

Presently - Lindeman's Bin 45 Cabernet Sauvignon.

I took your advice from last year, never buy cardboard casks. :ok:

Lightning Mate 16th May 2012 09:26

I'll drink to that! :)
