It has the style of F G Miles?

Noyade 7th Mar 2024 11:39

That would be the monoplane half of the Hillson Bi-Mono.
Open House should it be.

Noyade wins again!

I stumbled on the Hillson Bi-mono the other day. Used to develop the Hillson Slip-wing Hurricane:

Ombinda 11th Mar 2024 10:23

An early Gyroplane? French perhaps?

Glevum 11th Mar 2024 13:34

Cierva W5 / Wier W5?

Zaxis 11th Mar 2024 19:31

Glevum has it. A good spot! You have control.

Weir / Cieva W5, the first British (Scottish) true helicopter, 1938.

Similarity to Focke-Wulf 69 is no coincidence as the Germans licensed Cieva technology for their effort.

Glevum 11th Mar 2024 20:35

Thank you,

I am going to have to declare open house as I am travelling.

Grumman Ag-Cat?

Zaxis 12th Mar 2024 11:18

PZL-106 Kruk?
(with cowling off)

sycamore 12th Mar 2024 12:45

Om,and Zax,no and no...

Noyade 12th Mar 2024 12:59

PZL M-18 Dromader?

sycamore 12th Mar 2024 13:26

Getting closer...
`til 2100hrs..

Zaxis 12th Mar 2024 14:09

PZL M21 Dromander Mini?

Ombinda 12th Mar 2024 14:24

I believe you have it!

sycamore 12th Mar 2024 19:58

OK ,Zaxis..Brakes- on .
Mixture-rich
Pre-oil (60 secs)
MOTOR OVER 6 BLADES
pre-oil(30 secs)
Prime fuel 3 shots
Throttle 1 inch open
Turn over 9 BLADES, Mags ON,Booster coil.. ON (Do NOT pump the throttle..!)
By 2100 hrs,I reckon you might have got it going...eventually...NOW LISTEN TO ALL THAT `MUSIC`....in `imc`..!!

Perhaps I should have prefaced by saying you should start with a prayer,or incantations of your faith...No shouting,cursing or banging of fists,
RADIALS MUST BE `SEDUCED`,so play nicely....
