That's right Thruster88.

Gardan minicab

 

Oops. Not the minicab - wrong rear canopy shape

 

SIPA s90

 

Same designer a few years later

 

 

[red750]

No doubt about you kasper, you're good.

I've said this before here...but I am astonished by the sheer number of accumulated aircraft designs.

 

Red, Kasper...setting aside the many versions of some aircraft (ie, counting a DC3 as one, a piper cub as one, and so on) do you have any idea just how many there are???

 

 

[Thruster88]

This one looks like fun

Already had that one. #268 on this thread.

Yep, I'd have a go at that...provide the seat and the instrument column respectively stayed where they were........( < tenor voice)

Slip a pod over the front and you’ve got basically the same as a drifter on the front of that one. Except stringer for the nose leg

 

 

[red750]

Spot on, Birdseye. That's my lot for the time being, until I run across a few more.

 

 

[winsor68]

I've got one...a little bit different perhaps but it is still an aircraft.

 

 

 

[Birdseye]

Reminds me of a Keilcraft control line kit I had.

 

 

[spacesailor]

me too,

 

loved the "ladybird" KK of course, freeflight, tethered, and radio controlled, chasing golfer's down the fairway on a sunday afternoon.

 

It flew very slow with a "Mills" .75, running as slow as I could get it, only rudder control in those days, PulseProportional came a couple of years later.

"Galloping Ghost"?

 

 

[planedriver]

Geez!, now your stirring the memory. The very first "galloping ghost" system that I made, was using acorn valves from army surplus walkey-talky's from that era purchased from Government Surplus shops in London's seedy Soho..

 

Crude as they were,with rudder fluttering one way and then the other as the mark-space ratio varied to stick inputs, they did work at the time, but the young-un's of today who are familiar with digital proportional might think we are a bunch of dinosaurs.

 

Shh! . NO FURTHER COMMENT!

Brewer Street?

 

 

[planedriver]

No mate, Lisle Street behind the Hippodrone Theatre. They had lot's of goodies there.

No idea. I've probably hardly scratched the surface.

Here's my next one.

 

 

 

[kasper]

No idea but the pilot gets a big F for flying skills - nose wheel first is unforgivable

 

 

[Birdseye]

Has hint of Siai Marchetti 208 about it, but not quite.

Elevator neutral and no flap in use?

[kasper]

Elevator neutral and no flap in use?

Don’t care. Nose on the ground and air under one of the mains. That doesn’t happen if you’re flying at all correctly.

[facthunter]

Perhaps it's doing a take off? Flap equipped planes usually use a fair bit for landing. None or a small amount for take off. There's not much weight on either main and the nosewheel strut is not fully extended. (has weight on it , see scissor link) so it's NOT the way to be. if you want to fly safe. Weight on mains is more stable, directionally.. Nev

 

 

[spacesailor]

Could it be a bit of "crosswind", just my thought about doing a "touch & go".
