Hi Martin, some questions:
- single prop?
- is that a cockpit window open?
- is that a tie down on the port side?
Cheers

Ridge Runner 21st Sep 2011 16:14

You're an observant bloke:

two props
open cockpit
no, mate.. another prop

:)

Spit161 21st Sep 2011 16:14

Hi Martin,
If that has as many props as I can see in the picture, and I recognize the wheel struts, it's the FK55.

cheers,
Jake.

Ridge Runner 21st Sep 2011 16:15

You are there, mate. The Koolhoven FK55

You have control!!!

Spit161 21st Sep 2011 16:48

Thanks RR!
Here is a simple one:

cheers,
Jake.

skytrain10 21st Sep 2011 18:04

It may be simple...sadly not for me!

Let's start....German...an Extra possibly. That tail worries me though:(

Spit161 21st Sep 2011 18:10

No and No, unfortunately.

cheers,
Jake.

skytrain10 21st Sep 2011 18:12

Not surprised....ok, let's see, would it be from the US?

SincoTC 21st Sep 2011 18:35

Hi Jake,

Is it a Zivko Edge 540 ??

Have to be an Open House if correct as I'm off now and can't monitor tonight!

Edit: Evening Ken (thanks for PM :ok:) and Martin, sorry to bugger off so soon, but dog needs walkies (and supper) :)

skytrain10 21st Sep 2011 18:50

Evening Trevor..hope it's not the Zivko Edge has I had ruled that one out!

How about the Staudacher S.300?

Edit disregard the Staudacher.....that small fillet on the leading edge of the tail is bugging me...I wonder, does this aircraft have winglets?

skytrain10 21st Sep 2011 18:53

Or the Aero Cam Slick 360?

Spit161 21st Sep 2011 19:26

SincoTC is correct - it is the Zivko Edge 540. More specifically it is Matthias Dolderer's from the RBAR.

As SincoTC requested - open house.

cheers,
Jake.

evansb 21st Sep 2011 21:30

Way too much detail showing, but here is the next challenge:

SincoTC 22nd Sep 2011 07:40

ACAZ T-2 ???

Edit: Just starting work and surprised to see your light on Brian; can't sleep mate or a conscientious monitor?

Unless you've found another name for it, it was certainly easier the second time around ;) !! (SC Page 619)

Open House please if correct as I'm in the workshop most of the day :(

skytrain10 22nd Sep 2011 11:03

Morning / Afternoon all
Wish I'd logged on last night now...I was the one who originally posted the ACAZ T-2!
Certainly looks like it:ok:

evansb 22nd Sep 2011 14:22

SincoTC is correct. Your turn. (Sorry about posting a repeat).

skytrain10 22nd Sep 2011 16:17

Bri, if I may, as SincoTC declared Open House:

http://i551.photobucket.com/albums/i...r/be005261.jpg

Spit161 22nd Sep 2011 16:29

Avro Anson?

cheers,
Jake.

skytrain10 22nd Sep 2011 16:36


Avro Anson?
Looks a little like that doesn't it, but it's not the Anson.

SincoTC 22nd Sep 2011 16:48

Evening Ken,

Seeing quite a few names logged in at the moment, so I don't feel so bad at another "guess and run"!!

Going by the glimpse of nacelle, a Yakovlev Yak-8 ??

Off for dog/house duties now, so OH please if correct.

Going to have a serious go at getting their WIFI sorted out tonight to avoid another fortnight of restrictions!!

skytrain10 22nd Sep 2011 16:50

Evening Trevor....not a Yak product.

Hope you manage to sort the WiFi out, catch you later maybe.

evansb 22nd Sep 2011 16:56

Gotha Go.146 ?

skytrain10 22nd Sep 2011 16:58

Hi Bri, not a Gotha.

evansb 22nd Sep 2011 17:12

Mitsubishi Ki-57 'Topsy' ?

skytrain10 22nd Sep 2011 17:15

Not a Mitsubishi either....

irishair2001 22nd Sep 2011 20:13

Caudron Goeland ?

skytrain10 22nd Sep 2011 20:20

Evening Irishair - not a Caudron machine.

Lot's of guesses....nobody has got the country right yet!

Noyade 22nd Sep 2011 21:26


nobody has got the country right yet!
Evening.

I'll try for Czech...looks a little like the Aero A.204/304?

skytrain10 22nd Sep 2011 22:08


I'll try for Czech...looks a little like the Aero A.204/304?
Morning Graeme. Not Czech mate - excuse the pun:)

Noyade 22nd Sep 2011 22:18


Czech mate
Sounds about right. :)

European?

skytrain10 22nd Sep 2011 22:19

European...yes:ok:

Just the one built as far as I can see.

Noyade 22nd Sep 2011 22:31

I'll keep looking mate, but I'm working an evening shift today so won't have too much time.

I'm also looking for Mel's cockpit - it's driving me nuts!

Get some sleep Ken! :)

Cheers.

skytrain10 22nd Sep 2011 22:50

Yep, closing down now.

Good luck on Mel's cockpit challenge:ok:

Good night

Ridge Runner 23rd Sep 2011 10:00

I''d say scandinavian?

skytrain10 23rd Sep 2011 10:12

Morning Martin

I''d say scandinavian?
I wouldn't!
Not Scandinavian RR - that's ruled out a few countries.

Noyade 23rd Sep 2011 10:38
