Good grief TC.

You're going to have to tell us how you found that one!

We've been running around all day.

WK, you just went off-line !

Hi SincoTC. Perfect sherlockholmingandwatsoning. It is indeed the André Starck AS-90 New Look.
Please send PM with email so I can send photo/text

As suggested by SincoTC, Open House please

Just where did you find that great challenge WK?

I'm not telling you where I found this one though.

I think we would all like to see that.

Nice challenge WK....and its reminded me where I've seen it, or at least a picture of it. Saw another Starck model at a flying event many years back in the UK, and the pilot (maybe Andre Starck himself?) had a homemade brochure with pictures/diagrams of all the various Starck models built....if only I had a copy!

Now yours LM...a motorglider...Polish maybe?

Dave, did you find yours, at the local gliding club?
My best guess is the Motorraab and/or a homebuilt conversion of a Raab glider from Germany

Good evening skytrain and WK.

Not that one, but it is German, not Polish.

Scheibe SF-24B Motorspatz

Actually forget that the u/c is all wrong!

OK spook - I'll forget it....

WK,

Wot ??????

Me? Rotate speed 195 Knots..............

Try two jet engines and lots of s p e e d

Sod it - I'm off for dinner. Good night.

:):):)

So even hard core fighter jocks have to eat? My illusion is shattered mate! I thought you survived on lashings of JP-4 and munching on MIGs!

Nah mate.

Didn't care for raw JP4. Glenavtur was much better. Russian aluminium wasn't as nice as EE aluminium either.

You ate your own Lightning?

Eat, drink, breathe, sleep, dream Lightning.

Now, how ya doing with the challenge?

Methinks cluetime soon, but nobody else is on thread at the moment.

I'll be honest that although my light is on I have been deep in work stuff! Sorry. I did look up German motor-gliders yesterday without success.... clearly!

OK RR.

This was not a motor glider, but a two-seat training sailplane.

One or two were converted to motor gliders.

In view of your last clue, would this be a powered version of the Schleicher Ka-4 Rhonlerche II, aka the Rupert Rhonlerche II?

Bullseye skytrain.

I was just about to post the designers' name, Rudolf Kaiser.

Please take the thread. :D

Good work skytrain,

I'd just found this, but when I logged in you'd got there first :ugh:
