Birdseye Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Eclipse and Kestrel formed 'One Aviation' to market their products?
red750 Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Sorry Birdseye, I was going by the FAA Registry entry for the N number on the photo, N213TZ (see below). So I had the type as Epic LT. What was unusual about it?
spacesailor Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 what rego number? Am I going blind as well as daft as I see Nothing. spacesailor
red750 Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 I clone them out so you can't cheat. Here's the original.
Birdseye Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Hard to tell them apart from a photo: "Farnborough Aircraft formed a business alliance with Epic Aircraft to develop both companies' aircraft and as a result the POC aircraft appears similar to the Epic LT. The wing is reportedly the same, while the Kestrel’s fuselage is 20 inches longer than the Epic’s. "
red750 Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 The unusual feature I was looking for is that this 6 place pressurised turboprop was, at least originally, sold as a kit, with buyers assembling it at the companies assembly centre themselves.
kasper Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 This is cheeky. 1 off Taylor monoplane with retracts. Rob Ladd from Wisconsin I think was the first and plans were available so there may be others
Marty_d Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 This one may have been done [ATTACH=full]54449[/ATTACH] Gee that pilot has a really big head...
kasper Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Gee that pilot has a really big head... Lol. 15’ total length - tiny plane
derekliston Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 This one may have been done [ATTACH=full]54449[/ATTACH] Taylor monoplane or Taylor Titch? Looks bloody small!
derekliston Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 [ATTACH=full]54450[/ATTACH] Don’t know offhand but it is beautiful.
kasper Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Looks like a Stinson Reliant to me but the windscreen structures are wrong. Must keep thinking.
red750 Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Not sure about the engine, but yes, it's a Monocoupe 90A. Camel, you were a smidgeon out, like 60 years. 1930 vs 1990 for first flight.
