Off home shortly, but I have to ask, is their spacing Metric or Imperial??

Karlark

11th January 2012 18:26

I would think the spacing is in inches. :)

Possibly a big Cat...a?

Karlark

If you mean a Catalina, Sycamore, then possibly it is a conversion of one. Here, maybe a little better view will help. :)

Yes Sycamore, it is a Consolidated PBY :ok:. This particular one is converted into the "Landseaire" Air-Yacht.

I managed to crack it im my lunch break, thanks to the lack of dihedral! I didn't actually find a photo, only a previous version, but I put two and two together from Aerofiles info and made eighteen :)

This one isn't a Curtiss, but I did find it looking for the Shrike!!

The intake...

American?
Monoplane?
All metal?
Radial?
Slightly cranked wing?

Fighter?

SincoTC

13th January 2012 22:15

The answer is YES to all except Fighter!

The initial production version had a fixed U/C, but the Challenge aircraft had retractable gear and an uprated P&W Twin Wasp Jr

A Northrop A-17 on steroids. You're mean mate. :suspect::)
