The challenge looks like smart aircraft - a kit?

Self loading bear 24th Feb 2020 18:13

It is not a kit.
But to say that sales of this 4 seater have not yet lifted off is an understatement.

Dash and interior are upto your own choice
(this one is not mine)

The pink leather isn't to my taste TBH - American?

MReyn24050 25th Feb 2020 13:36

East European possibly?

Self loading bear 25th Feb 2020 16:21

East European definitely

Is this turning into a Dutch parlour game?
EM-11
first flight 2003
certification 2011
Somewhere on the web it is stated that production has been moved to China?
I have no idea how many are flying

Jelle has control

Jhieminga 27th Feb 2020 16:04

The Eastern European hint told me where to look, so blame that ;)
Let's see how long this one will last.

It looks like a twin jet and one of the fuel gauges is marked "carburant" so is it French ?

sycamore 28th Feb 2020 11:32

M-S 760 Paris II.....RPM gauge goes to 26000..

Jhieminga 28th Feb 2020 16:54

sycamore has control!

sycamore 28th Feb 2020 17:46

Nice little wizzer,noisier than Vampires.....the ex-mils I`ve seen had sticks instead of columns/wheels,and the MkIII had column/wheel thru the panel....
Sorry,gotta be OH...

Jhieminga 28th Feb 2020 18:16

In that case.... my plan B from yesterday can have a go!

eckhard 28th Feb 2020 21:39

Ford Tri-motor?

Archer4 29th Feb 2020 11:27

It looks a bit to neat for the trimotor era.

It is a Dornier DO-24 ATT.

Jhieminga 29th Feb 2020 21:30

Not ‘a’ Do-24 ATT, but ‘the’ Do-24 ATT! Archer4 has control.

Lets see if anyone recognizes this beauty.

asw28-866 1st Mar 2020 02:03

Looks like timber under the panel, Falco?

Jhieminga 1st Mar 2020 13:42

Amateur built according to the placards. A lot of options in that arena...

Edit: looks like you found the answer already, a Sequoia F.8L Falco based in the Netherlands.

Archer4 1st Mar 2020 18:10

Hmm. I might be making this a bit too easy. It is indeed a Falco.
And yes most of the plane is in fact wood instead of metal. Another fun fact, it is the little sister of the SF260 that was in there a couple of days ago.

Over to ASW.

Apologies all, am in the cockpit all day today, so Open House.

Self loading bear 4th Mar 2020 20:23

All silent readers have had a chance to take the open house.
Now this:

sycamore 5th Mar 2020 10:25

Is this a test,development,or experimental aircraft...?
Single jet...?..piston..t-prop...?
British...?,or `johnny foreigner..?

ea200 5th Mar 2020 10:39

By the labelling of the turn indicator and the HSI I think it might be Swedish. Go to leave now so I will leave it to others to ponder that.

Jhieminga 5th Mar 2020 10:50

I think I'll go for a Saab 29 Tunnan then.

All other readers have still a chance to post the right answer.

dook 5th Mar 2020 17:42

Avia Deja Vue says Saab J-32 Lansen.

Self loading bear 5th Mar 2020 20:25

Sorry Jelle,

Dook has stabbed right in the heart with the SAAB Lansen.
Dook on the stick.


dook 5th Mar 2020 20:29

Thank you Bear.

Open House.

sycamore 5th Mar 2020 22:14

No problem, I completely forgot about the Lansen. To me the tunnel around the rudder pedals looked quite narrow, which would fit with the nose intake of the Tunnan. That's where I took a wrong turn.

Is the new challenge ex-military?

MReyn24050 6th Mar 2020 13:31

This is I believe is an instrument panel from a helicopter possibly from the USA.

John Eacott 6th Mar 2020 15:29

Kaman K-Max.

Ahoy, Midshipman Eacott,to the Bridge, you have the con....
I`ve had a long day trying to start a Nimbus,so I`m going below to my bunk......
(actually it did start but no JPT,then no engine RPM,then inverter worked,but insrmts failed,then,etc,etc....!
and I`d not deleted `properties off the pic)

Self loading bear 6th Mar 2020 21:46

K-max cockpit
It looks massiv, square bulky but when you add a pilot it all comes into proportion:

I trust the Nimbus was bolted to a Scour or Wasp?.

I worked alongside the first K Max to work fires in NSW , and the most difficult thing for a 'regular' helicopter driver to accept was the single pilot with spectacular view from either side. Excellent Helitack machine, shifted heaps of litres onto the fires. I believe they're now also being used to develop unmanned load delivery for the Military in the USA.

Properties? Who on earth would bother to search for that sort of clue :hmm:

Aye aye Sir....:p

I took this one a few years ago of Dad, in keeping with images of the cockpits of proper aircraft ;)

Listen son, When these buggers didn’t want to start, you just shortcutted this green lead onto this brown contact.

Whatever it is I am looking forward to the story behind this photo!
