TC can you confirm that it is what it looks like: a flying glider boat with a propeller in water

Sorry Reg; there's no water involved :)

'Tiz a propellor of sorts at the back innit!!

Designed by Sergei Pavlovich Korolev, later to become the Father of the Soviet Space Program, but known only as "The Chief Designer" until after his untimely death!

Thanks TC - a nice challenge.

I looked hard at the tail and concluded it just had to be a rocket exhaust.

'twas downhill from there.

Fast forward in time:

Morning,

It looks a bit like the Arnold AR-6 "Endeavour" pylon racer...

Judging by the lack of flaps and dihedral, and the large ailerons, I am guessing it's an aerobatic job.

Not aerobatic, more like an earlier equivalent of your previous challenge

Falck "Rivets" ?

Lightning Mate

27th January 2011 11:59

I found that earlier too, but dismissed it as it's a model aircraft and doesn't seem to be modelled on a real one (at least according to RC modellers thread). :\

Ah well, must go and do some work now.

Legendary Bill Falck's #92 "Rivets" set a few records for it's class (190 cu. in.), starting out in the late 1940s, and a much modified T-tail "Rivets" crashed in 1977 taking Bill's life with it.

Guess drawbarz needs to declare evansb but he has gone http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/...er_offline.gif

Lightning Mate

27th January 2011 14:26

They have both gone, so it's a stalled thread again.:uhoh:

See you sometime later.......
