Don't know. The version with the enclosed canopy doesn't appear to have it.

Late 1930's design.

Gonna break for dinner now...back later

Is it an SAI KZ II trainer aircraft?

Thanks Ken. I recognised the uniquely shaped tail.

Let's try this concept drawing for the next:

Hi Karl...from the location of the engines are we looking at a high speed flying boat/seaplane concept?

Noyade 1st Jul 2012 21:37

Greetings from Oz gents. Is it American Karl? First thought was that Star Wars movie where they're racing those surface skimmers along the desert basin. :)

Karlark 1st Jul 2012 21:37

Evening Ken,

It is a research and demonstration aircraft, under development to research sonic boom and supersonic transport.

Edit;
G'day Graeme,

Yes it is American. (not an Ekranoplan :))

Noyade 1st Jul 2012 21:38

Or maybe Douglas had bigger plans for the X-3?

Karlark 1st Jul 2012 21:55

I'm going to let this one go since the concept drawing on the internet is different than the one I used from a magazine:

Interesting. What's the city in the USA that has the huge half a McDonalds arch? That's what it reminds me of.

(GIMP 2.8 is a little different to what the earlier version was Ken - background mechanism has changed - toolbox no longer appears?)

G'day mate.

Since it has a tailwheel I assume it's a piston.

Trainer?

Noyade 2nd Jul 2012 08:42

Morning mate. :)

165 hp Continental.

Described as "two seat advanced training and aerobatic aircraft".

skytrain10 2nd Jul 2012 09:31

Hi Graeme. Is it the Dalotel DM.165 Viking?

Noyade 2nd Jul 2012 09:35


Dalotel DM.165 Viking?
Well done mate. :ok:
I have the Poulet Dalotel DM-165

Your control.

Is that the one the Moroccan team, fly, Ken?

Edit: CAP 230/232???

Edit: CAP 230/232???
Not a CAP mate, but you are in the right country. I believe the CAP was the basis for this design.

Lightning Mate 2nd Jul 2012 11:47

A Piel design?
