That’s interesting. I had never heard of the Yak-16. Initially I thought Li-2 but then I realized it was smaller and the turret was in the wrong place. |
How about this (what I initially thought when I saw the Yak-16);

Done in 6 mins - not bad & over to you.

First flight I ever went on was on a Viking. Nothing to hand so open house.

Came across this, not sure if it's been entered before |
Not very big - maybe even smaller than a Sopwith Pup? Looks like a big engine for such a small airframe . French?
|
Very good Asturias, French engine Gnome-Rhone 200hp
|
Always read the answers carefully as in "French engine Gnome-Rhone 200hp" but not apparently French
Doesn't look British & not in my books but it has three striped fin flash with white or a light colour in the centre - so not Belgium, don't think it's France as you'd dodged the question, could be US Army Air Service or Italy. Probably Italy - maybe only a few built? |
Probably gnome delta-delta |
Got it!! Good job the nights are dark and the weather foul - gives an excuse to stay in and scour the Web. "Italy biplane fighter 200 hp Le Rhone" worked
It's an Adamoli-Cattani built in 2016 but the engine never gave the rated power - pity. Adamoli-Cattani biplane |
Well done! You have the chair, shame because it's an attractive looking aircraft and if they had got the engine installation right it might have been a contender.

Yes tho what the handling would have been like with such a short fuselage and such a big engine.......................
here's another - it did fly - honest............ https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....6adb9ad5c9.jpg |
Good that they left the cylinder head cowlings off! Those are dead ugly when fitted. |
Yeah - totally unnecessary the mechanic told me.............

Ah, I think I recall that - Czech homebuilt? Presume it turned turtle somewhere?
|
Brouchek W-01 - T-tailed and present at the (1984?) PFA Rally. I'm sure I went that year but don't recall seeing it. Maybe it was a later year?
