Not that one, but it is converted from a Beech, but not a Bonanza. Looks like the first one flew in 2003 so too new for Aerofiles

So, no longer called a Beech product, something completely different?

Correct....the conversion is somewhat more radical than some.

PT6 or Allison?

It looks like a Piper with a Beech wing?

OK. But if it was Frankenfurted from a Beech light-plane, say a Sierra for example, would wiki in the variant section make mention of this "radical" conversion?

Lot's of questions:
Neither LM...Walter turboprop.
No, the basic airframe is Beech, fuselage, wings and tail.
Can't see that wiki mentions this at all, either under Beech, or the manufacturer that does the conversion.

Remember what I said about this being a more radical conversion.....:)

Is this conversion, by any chance, a conversion of a piston twin to a single turboprop.

Is it the Viper?????

Saw that, but isn't that a Russian (Technoavia) Piper conversion?

We're still looking for an American manufacturer....right?

Forget that :( That was a Navajo!

Nah, I reckon its NZ or smething like that

American Ken?

It is indeed:ok: Incidentally the aircraft it was converted from remains in production today after 50 years!

Yep.

Did it start out as a Beech Duke?

A Baron conversion, mate?

There is a Baron converted in this way and called the Walker Hester WH4 Harpoon. :\

Not a Duke.
Yes:ok:

But....

Well, I have it as the Hall Wendell WH-4 Harpoon but I'm sure its one and the same LM:ok:

LM has control.

Very nice, Ken!

Wasn't it just!

Here we go again then.....

A potential military trainer, David?

Or a homebuild?

Dorna D-139 Blue Bird?

Not a military trainer as far as I know Martin, and not a homebuilt Ken.

edit:
Remove the question mark Ken. How did you get that so quickly!!

Back to you. :ok:

Thanks David.
The tail shape is quite unusual...it just rang a bell somewhere! Then it was a quick check of a certain magazine (had to be quick because Graeme has the same one!).....and bingo!

Next one:

Single prop at the front didn't show up in the process.

Does it have a trigger?

(that's my definition of a real aeroplane BTW)

In that case it falls into your definition:ok: It can fire things and drop things:)

...can or could...?

Sorry could, past tense.

The Fairey Spearfish!

Edit: Open house when declared correct! :E

Nice one!...

That's the one Martin:ok:

Arado Ar.231?

That's the one, Ken!! The reason for the odd wing being:

you have CONTROL

Had wondered about that wing...mind you, I like it....a flatpack aircraft!

Here's the next one:

Is that an Anzani, Ken???

Not an Anzani Martin

Bristol Swallow mate?
