A bit hairy silhouette, but need to go now for about 30 minutes, so didn't start fine-shaving.

Ridge Runner 31st Aug 2011 15:30

What's that rather masculine thing hanging under the fuselage, Reg?

skwinty 31st Aug 2011 15:36

That's the stairway to heaven.:ok:

RegDep 31st Aug 2011 15:40

I think both of the above. A supportive member…..

skwinty 31st Aug 2011 16:03

Fairchild 22?

Fairchild 24 ARGUS III.

:mad:
Fairchild made lots of aircraft.:hmm:

RegDep 31st Aug 2011 16:39


Fairchild made lots of aircraft.
Agree. They did. But not this.


Fairchild 24 ARGUS III.
Disagree.

Evening Reg, no obvious signs of power in your challenge. Are we looking at a glider?

skytrain10 31st Aug 2011 17:21

Hall Aluminium Monoped?

If so will have to be Open House.

RegDep 31st Aug 2011 17:23

It is not a glider. There is a 120 hp Ranger in the conventional place. The propeller was missing (or otherwise invisible) in the original picture.

skwinty 31st Aug 2011 17:59

Duplicate post

skwinty 31st Aug 2011 18:01

What is on the wing? Early crop sprayer?

RegDep 31st Aug 2011 18:27

Yes, it is the Hall Aluminum Monoped, the one which killed Mr Hall himself.

No idea what are the slat-looking things in the Aerofiles picture. Those were not present/visible in the picture I used.

Skytrain has requested Open House

skwinty 31st Aug 2011 20:37

Try this one.

Something for the night owls.:hmm:

Evening!

G'day skwinty! Any chance yours is this with the guts and skin on...?

Noyade 31st Aug 2011 21:33

Unlikely...but if it is, open house. :)

skwinty 31st Aug 2011 21:42

That's the ticket mate.

A 1928 Cessna AW:ok:

OPEN HOUSE once again

evansb 31st Aug 2011 23:26

Here is the next challenge:

skwinty 1st Sep 2011 06:08

Farman Sport "Carte Postale". This 1926 aeroplane was the result of combining a Farman David fuselage with part of a Farman Goliath .

evansb 1st Sep 2011 06:23

skwinty is correct. The Farman Post Card. Your turn.

skwinty 1st Sep 2011 06:27

OPEN HOUSE:cool:

Lightning Mate 1st Sep 2011 07:30

Good morning Reg and skwinty. :)

Are you bored?......

http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/u...29/thurs-1.jpg

RegDep 1st Sep 2011 08:08

Good morning Gentlemen.

Not bored. Just brewing more coffee…..

Presuming that the rhinoceroid thing on the nose of the challenge is part of the cowling, not of the right wing…..

skwinty 1st Sep 2011 08:09

Good morning Lightning Mate and RegDep.

Not any more.:ok:

RegDep 1st Sep 2011 08:12

To #2145

I meant the top, but as you say bottom, I presume that one is a radiator……

(I have looked at the Computers and Troubleshooting forum, and they are as pissed as we are of the time stamps, but no solution…. At least they have a Mod and an Admin working on it….)

Lightning Mate 1st Sep 2011 08:16

Do you mean at the top or the bottom?

RegDep 1st Sep 2011 08:19

To #2147

Hallo HP, welcome back. Yes, we have ;)

HappyPass 1st Sep 2011 08:25

Let's add another layer to this timestamp mess by adding another post... I'm back! :)
Morning all, hope you've had good fun in the meantime!

Lightning Mate 1st Sep 2011 08:35

Sorry guys - "database error".


I meant the top, but as you say bottom, I presume that one is a radiator……

The top is indeed the cowling.

The radiator is central and in front of the gear main struts, and is slightly V shaped.

Nice to see you again HP. :)

Lightning Mate 1st Sep 2011 08:43

Not a Curtiss and certainly not a racer.

skwinty 1st Sep 2011 08:51

A Curtiss racer?

Lightning Mate 1st Sep 2011 08:52

Nowhere near mate.

post timed at 1001!!

Lightning Mate 1st Sep 2011 08:58

Not American, but whether it is European depends on who you talk to. ;)

post timed at 1008

RegDep 1st Sep 2011 08:59

Many things point to something like Breguet Bre 19 TR.

Anywhere near?


Nowhere near mate.
OK, but somebody has cut the front of the Breguet and pasted it together with someone else's tail…. Someone in Japan???

Are you alluding to something behind the big water or a big continent from France?

Lightning Mate 1st Sep 2011 09:04

All my posts are going back 10 minutes in time, so keep scrolling UP guys.

skwinty 1st Sep 2011 09:05

American or European?

RegDep 1st Sep 2011 09:19

Ach, so it is Russian :ok:

…if you talk with me ;)

Lightning Mate 1st Sep 2011 09:24

Yes Reg....

Ridge Runner 1st Sep 2011 09:26

Timestamps? Let's see where this one goes! :)

Edit: seemed to be okay!

RegDep 1st Sep 2011 09:43

To #2161


LM, is it the Polikarpov PM-1 ??
Pretty obvious question…..

Civilian or military was probably what Mate expected. Anyhow, as I already thought at Breguets, it WAS bigger than the first glance lets you beleive….

Lightning Mate 1st Sep 2011 09:44

So far, nobody has asked what to me is an obvious question.
