Morning All,

LM, is it the Polikarpov PM-1 ??

Coffee break is nearly over, so Open House please if correct, sorry, but at least there's a lot about this morning :)

Lightning Mate 1st Sep 2011 09:52


LM, is it the Polikarpov PM-1 ??

It most certainly is TC. :ok:

TC has declared OPEN HOUSE.

Lightning Mate 1st Sep 2011 10:29

I note that on the AH&N main page it lists the last post as RegDep at 1044.

Work that out!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, it did until this post!!

C'mon RD and HP - post something!

RegDep 1st Sep 2011 10:39

Someone said OH?

Edit: D….d, where are the enthusiastic Aaaahs and Ooooohs?

Lightning Mate 1st Sep 2011 10:47

aaaah aaaah oooooh oooooh.........

s:mad: colour combination!!

RegDep 1st Sep 2011 10:51


s :mad: colour combination!!
Yep :cool:

Cool isn't it.

Lightning Mate 1st Sep 2011 11:09

The prop looks feathered.

Therefore is it a motor glider perhaps electrically powered?

RegDep 1st Sep 2011 11:21

You don't see the prop. What you might see is the right-hand wing tip.

Electric may be one option, though…..

Lightning Mate 1st Sep 2011 11:28

It's a Pipistrel Panthera.

skytrain10 1st Sep 2011 11:33

Afternoon all, not had a chance to look in until now. Looks like the Pipistrel Panthera?

Edit...ignore me, I see LM was there first.

RegDep 1st Sep 2011 11:35

Sure it is the Pipistrel Panthera, the guys are selling it short (deliveries start 2012 for petrol engine version, the hybrid and electric to be expected in 2013).

Over to you :ok:

PS. The background colour was the original one in the picture.

Lightning Mate 1st Sep 2011 11:43

Thanks Reg.


PS. The background colour was the original one in the picture.
Sounds like another Photoshop tutorial. :E

This one is very easy and I expect skytrain to get it within five minutes....

edit: going out for 15-20 minutes.

DC-4E had a triple tail.

Ridge Runner 1st Sep 2011 12:04

Edit: oops, didn't see Skwinty's post!!!

Lightning Mate 1st Sep 2011 12:19


DC-4E had a triple tail.
It sure did skwinty. :ok:

Over to you - and please not another OH.

Ridge Runner 1st Sep 2011 12:23

I have one ready if you haven't, Skwinty! ;)

Lightning Mate 1st Sep 2011 12:26

skwinty 1st Sep 2011 12:30

Lightning Mate 1st Sep 2011 12:32

We are in a weird world!!! :)

skwinty 1st Sep 2011 12:56

Aeronca........?

RegDep 1st Sep 2011 12:56

RR does this have fixed leading edge extensions or movable slats?

STOL anyways, right?

Ridge Runner 1st Sep 2011 12:59

yes, STOL, Reg

Ridge Runner 1st Sep 2011 13:02

Not an Aeronca, Skwinty

skwinty 1st Sep 2011 13:09

What about Taylorcraft L-2?

Ridge Runner 1st Sep 2011 13:27

Not a Taylorcraft, mate

skwinty 1st Sep 2011 13:46

Bellanca? Last try until later.;)

Lightning Mate 1st Sep 2011 13:47

Back briefly.

That gear looks beefed up - for rough field work?

Was it designed from the outset for STOL or modified?

Ridge Runner 1st Sep 2011 14:53

Not a Bellanca, Skwinty

Beffed-up? Yes, probably. Not intended for rough-field work, though

Yes, STOL as designed

RR

RegDep 1st Sep 2011 14:56

A bit geographical narrowing-down, shall we?

Is this from the USofA?

Ridge Runner 1st Sep 2011 14:59

not a yank, Reg

Ridge Runner 1st Sep 2011 15:33

ah no... that's just a britsh expression. No clue there! (answer to 2197)

RegDep 1st Sep 2011 15:36

Trying to decipher this


Try this for size ....
Apparently very small then :uhoh:.

Ridge Runner 1st Sep 2011 16:01

RR

Ridge Runner 1st Sep 2011 16:43
