Homebuilt LSA ?

HappyPass 27th Aug 2011 13:33

Light aircraft.
Not homebuilt afaik

I'll be darned.

I went through the correct way, all down to 'Piero Magni PM.1/PM.2 Vittoria/PM.3 Vale/PM.4 Supervale [4]' and then clicked the 'Italy Fascist', and got something that had wrong tail. So I thought, why would the '? Fascist - Other' be any different, without understanding that the ? meant civilian (no roundel) :ugh:.

Ach ja. At least I learned something today that I can forget tomorrow :*.

HP Your challenge is Plumber's Delight Mk. I :}

HappyPass 27th Aug 2011 13:40

Well, try to pick this one right then, Heinrich... ;)


Plumber's Delight Mk. I
That made my day, I'm still laughing! :p
To be fair, the silencer is a quite recent addition, and I've seen it only on this particular airframe, as far as the photos can tell.
...and doncha Tampere with the pipes... ;);)

RegDep 27th Aug 2011 13:53

Yeah, the builder must have stolen the muffler from his brothers motor cycle, Shirley.

HappyPass 27th Aug 2011 13:56

A Shirley-Davidson? never heard of that...http://factoryjoe.s3.amazonaws.com/e...8-thinking.gif

That's the brother, rite?

RegDep 27th Aug 2011 14:03

That's him all right.

RegDep 27th Aug 2011 14:32

Does yours come as a taildragger only?

HappyPass 27th Aug 2011 14:39

Yep.
And it truly drags stuff... ;)

RegDep 27th Aug 2011 14:44

Aaa, a glider towing thingy….

PIK-15 Hinu.

OH-YHD

HappyPass 27th Aug 2011 14:56

Yep, that one :D:D:D
Hinu = dialectal form for Heinrich
Photo shot at Tampere (EFTS)
Even the "PIcK this one right" wasn't accidental... ;)

All yours!

RegDep 27th Aug 2011 15:02

Well, you got it almost right. But if you call a Heinrich 'Hinu' in Teisko Airport (EFTS) or elsewhere, watch out the brother in your picture. He might think you mean something else…. The name Hinu was given to this aircraft type before urban slang PIcKed that expression into another use…..

'Soon' has now expired

HappyPass 27th Aug 2011 15:07

Well... I'm not a native Finnish speaker...
Hinu - Nordic Names Wiki - Name Origin, Meaning and Statistics
That's the authoritative source :p

RegDep 27th Aug 2011 15:17

I am not an authoritative source. But as little as I know about the subject, I would assert that Hinu comes from hinuri (hinaaja) meaning a tug. Today, the urban use of hinuri is homosexual, gay.

So just you watch out.

RegDep 27th Aug 2011 16:17

Silence . . . .

Clue: Roadable :E

RegDep 27th Aug 2011 16:22

You are definitely on the right track Brian. Something the you'd expect Batman to fancy.

Edit: In response to #1900.

evansb 27th Aug 2011 16:26

Speaking of a gay roadable, is this it ?
