OK, let's try to narrow it down. Is it European, Skytrain?

Lightning Mate 29th June 2010 15:18

Prolly a Yank.

Ridge Runner 29th June 2010 15:43

That's a long hour, Ken!

Lightning Mate 29th June 2010 15:52

I think you've pissed him off now.

SincoTC 29th June 2010 15:52

Afternoon Ken,

I think it's Valley Engineering's Back Yard Flyer

skytrain10 29th June 2010 15:54

I'm back.

LM, you're correct, it is an American aircraft.

Another clue...the silhouette is the prototype. The production aircraft differ in having an enclosed cockpit canopy and seating for 2 (as opposed to 1).

skytrain10 29th June 2010 15:57

Our messages crossed Sinco....yes you have it, its the Valley Engineering Back Yard Flyer. Well done.

For details go to: Valley Engineering - Back Yard Flyer

You have control SincoTC.

PS..a google search of "flaperons" shows a picture of the aircraft on the first page!

Thanks skytrain,

If its any consolation LM, I did that search and missed it that one too, due to the different angle I guess, but found it with the same search on Aerofiles!

Sorry guys, but it's going to be another Open House as I'm off in a little while.

skytrain10 29th June 2010 17:52

Blimey...5 mins LM...well done, it is indeed the electric powered Alatus ME from France.

Seems the substitute lasted longer than the first team player!

Back to you.

Lightning Mate 29th June 2010 17:57

Schhh.....

I already had it lined up.

Lightning Mate 29th June 2010 17:59
