Not a Yak.

American? Prototype or homebuilt?

Not American. Only one was built (not homebuilt) so you could say it’s a prototype.

Cranfield A-1.... if it is ,I should have remembered ,having flown it a bit...

I'm slightly jealous now, as it is my photo, but its flying days are long gone. The Cranfield A-1 it is. You're up.

J, I would have thought that it would have been a lot better than it was...it was as though the designers had not flown an aerobatic aircraft,or took any advice from those who did.It had a lot of power,but required a lot of `Armstrong` to horse it about...Not as nice or easy as a Yak50/52/18 or as smooth as a Zlin...Thanks for the memory....!!

Anyway,it`ll have to be OH....

I only crawled over it for a few days but did get the impression that there was more airframe than needed, so I can understand your comments about its handling. Seeing as it’s more or less Chipmunk sized but heavier, it is difficult to see it as a serious contender in aerobatics championships.

Construction reminds me of a KR-2, but the fuselage is too deep and the flight controls are behind the wing spar on that type. Vans RV-6 is another option... but I doubt it. Let's start with the question: is it a US homebuilt aircraft?

Homebuild - yes

US - no

Brandli BX-2 ?

SLB is correct. Your control

Thanks Dash,
Nice little aeroplane that Brandli BX-2.

I could not locate that particular dashboard.
But the sliding forward canopy gave a good clue.
