Head in the clouds Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 Just to show there are plenty of others of us following ... but T88 is just too good for words! Is it a Karaone? Or maybe ... I think they were called N3 Pup? Nice looking little plane, whatever it is, well done for finding all these red750, you're a champion! 1
red750 Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 So near and yet so far, with the second answer, HITC. 1
Head in the clouds Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 J3 Pup ...? I'm getting older mate. My memory is fine, it's just all the other baskets around me can't remember a thing ... or hear anything ... what? I heard that ... ?
red750 Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 It's one of a number of similar models one of which is the J3 Kitten. It is registered as a Hipps Superbirds Reliant. Google links them together. I've just added another 17 to the list so there's quite a few to go. How about this one?
kasper Posted December 9, 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 Looks like a G801 Grindwalds Orion but the rear of the door is a bit wrong
red750 Posted December 9, 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 I'll pay that as close enough. This extract from Wikipedia explains why: Plans and kits were distributed by Aérodis in France and by Aerodis America Inc. in the USA.[3] Individual builders, often using the original moulds at Brienne-le-Chateau, continued to innovate.[4] Around 1990 Jaques Darcissac built an Orion with a fuselage strengthened with wire mesh and with a more robust undercarriage, which he named the Darcissac-Grinvalds DG-87 Goéland(Seagull in English) and this name has been used by three other builders.[5][6] Other builders have also given their aircraft different names, such as Gerfaut, Gypaète and Scorpion. A new version of the Orion, tailored for US market was designed, known as the AA200.[4][5] This one is the Gerfaut (GerFalcon). So probably builder's modification. This one's a bit off-beat. You'll probably get it in a couple of minutes - or less.
kasper Posted December 9, 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 Looks like something Giulo would build from his Uk factory. Update - it’s a Maverick lsa from the USA. Can’t see it being too successful
red750 Posted December 9, 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 That's right, the i-Tec Maverick Flying Car/Dune Buggy. Here's a byDanJohnson video.
kasper Posted December 9, 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 Monospar with the little pobjoy radials by General Aircraft.
red750 Posted December 9, 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 Kasper, between you and Thruster88, you're knocking them off quicker than I can put them up, I've had complaints that others don't get a chance.
Bruce Tuncks Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 That monospar looks like a modernized DeHavilland dragon. when and where was it?
red750 Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 No idea Bruce. I got the photo from airport-data.com. It was a scanned b&w photo.
red750 Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 With no successful guesses, the aircraft is an Issoire APM-20 Lionceau. Let's see how we go with this one:
red750 Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 Very quick off the mark, HITC. Correct as well. Will you be so quick with this one?
Head in the clouds Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 Yup, Ed Fisher design Micro Mong
red750 Posted December 16, 2018 Posted December 16, 2018 The manufacturer was previously known by another name. This aircraft bears the original name.
