Speedy recovery!
I looked at Great Lakes but this one not mentioned by Wikipedia. Now this: https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....4474ffd37.jpeg |
Anime role players should be ecstatic now being able to get the real thing under open sky instead of costumes indoors.
|
It's a M-02J - EAA AirVenture. Apparently a wing-warping weightshift jet powered ultralight!
Whatever posesses anyone to even concieve of such a ludicrously pointless, difficult to construct and probably suicidal contraption as that, let alone actually build one? SImply because they could? The mind boggles. (as it does to Beamrs post which after a score of attempts still makes no sense to me at all. Did it get scrambled up?) |
meleagertoo,
This should help unboggle your mind: The OpenSky M-02/M-02j is a Japanese primary glider/jet-powered motor glider inspired by the Möwe aircraft flown by the protagonist in the Hayao MiyazakianimeNausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....fe8fe72d84.jpg |
"Unboggle..."? I take that to be humour...
As to an expectation that any professional European aviator would have ever heard of some particularly infanile Japanese children's cartoon...How? Why? Costumes and role players??? wtf??? As Baldrick would reply, "I would do Sir but I don't know what your're saying". Yep. The mind is yet further boggled, hardly surprisingly. |

Well well! How utterly bizarre! Never heard of such a thing, not being much of an afficianado of cartoons (Family Guy excepted) and certanly not poor-quality Japanese children's ones, if the original cartoon is anything to go by (!).
This won't last long though it's nearly as silly as the last, but without the comic book factor. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....091b739af8.png |
Mel,
my apologies, I was not able to answer earlier, but you was fully correct with the Opensky Me-02. Indeed inspired by a Japanese animation movie. Boggling or not, I am glad the builder did succeed in this Seagull and did not try to genetical engineer a Flying Dragon. |

de Lackner Aerocycle, what could possibly go wrong? |
certanly not poor-quality Japanese children's ones, if the original cartoon is anything to go by However, I think perhaps you should do some research before judging. 😄 Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind received critical acclaim. The film is frequently ranked among the best animated films in Japan, and is seen by critics as a seminal influence on the development of anime, as the film's success led to the foundation of Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli and several other anime studios. |

Like Beamr, I hadn’t heard of this particular movie, although the details were easy to find by Googling Möwe and anime.
However, I think perhaps you should do some research before judging. 😄I Its a movie now??? I cannot even begin to imagine how anyone could have the cheek to suggest "research before judging" is required on the basis of a single and such a self evidently infantile cartoon of the sort no sentient adult would ever even glance at twice, let alone take notice of, and especially how anyone might come across one from Japan of all places! And how the digamma would any person of normal interests know or suspect to search for "Möwe and anime." whatever that means? Where would anyone get those terms from? Do they even have a meaning? (I'm not wasting precious minutes of my life looking them up, juvenile Jap cartoons are not my thing, as an adult(!!) ) I fear the world is full of weird and mainly unknown minority cults yet their protagonists fondly imagine everyone else is similarly aware. Fact is, they ain't! Anyhoo, welshwafoo, the floor is yours. Something form Hector's House or The Clangers perhaps, or can we revert to reality? |

They really didn't seem to think that one through, did they?
|
Hope I'm not barging in here - this shouldn't be too difficult.

Close Noyade but spot on treadigraph. It has to be said - it's not a looker! However my interest stems from learning that my dear late friend Lance Mossom did some wing design work on this bird in between the tail plane design for the Brabazon MK2 and work at de Havillands "wonderful de Havillands" (his words) Over to you treadigraph. |
Cheers Welshwaffu, ag aeroplanes need to be agricultural and it's a better looker than the Bennett Skytruck...
Dunno if this has graced these pages before, I expect it'll be i/d'd before I'm back from the Takeaway... https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....4c7c514aa9.jpg |
Its soooo quiet back here - all you can hear is the sound of the clock................

I would be checking the maximum cockpit load very carefully before climbing in! ;)

It'd be a tail-dragger with me in the cockpit...
(enjoyed my takeaway by the way, contributed nicely to W&B issues...) |
Any takers? Mind you, I can't actually remember what it's called...
|
Renegade?
|
C of G!!!
Is it Italian?
|
Not Italian and I'm not aware of it being known as Renegade, though I can well imagine a name like that been given to it. It never flew and is now in a museum.
|
The Rose RP-4.
I note in this clip Treaders it is referred to as the "Renegade"...? |
Ah, cheers Noyade, hadn't seen the video, will watch it when I get home! Rose RP-4 "Renegade" it is!
On that basis, BEagle you have control, Sir... |
|
Looks like the glasswear was borrowed from Fairey's
|
I think it might be from across la Manche...?
|
|
Spot on! Noyade has control!!
|
|
Give me the designation - and you have control.
A Fokker product. |
|
|
Sainsburys Shopping Trolley?
|
Her her her...
I'm gonna make you clever lot sweat over this one! (As if!!) But no, Treaders. An entirely different kind of trolley. (as I rather suspect you know already. Already.) |
