red750 Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 Said it would be a piece of cake. How about this one?
onetrack Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 Fleet 50 Freighter on floats. You could have them with wheels, if that was your preference. Only 5 were built, by Canadian company, Fleet Aircraft. Originally powered by 2 x Jacobs 7cyl radials (L-5MB) at 285HP each, the engines were later upgraded to 330HP each (L-6MB). But even at that, they couldn't maintain altitude on one engine, so the aircraft was a flop.
kasper Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 Beat me to it by a minute. Innmy opinion the only floatplane that looks worse on wheels than floats. 1
kasper Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 Gotha go146. Unsuccessful mid 30’s fast transport from Germany. You can just see the swastika on the tail.
red750 Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 I thought that one would take a lot longer. I suppose you will get this one just as quickly.
onetrack Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 MiG-9E. Reportedly, 10 were built, and went into service. Other reports state only 1 became operational. The design had poor manoeuvrability, and no major performance improvements on other current designs, so the project was abandoned.
red750 Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 Yes OT. Listed on the Russian website by its alternate name, the I211.
Student Pilot Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 according to news channels, that would be a "Cessna" 2
red750 Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 Time's up. The "Cessna" in #1933 is a Pottier P-220S Koala.
pmccarthy Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 Consolidated PB4Y-2 Privateer. Those blister turrets have been removed but it still has a Catalina look. 1
red750 Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 That was quick Peter. It's getting harder to stump you guys.
red750 Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 I'm surprised this one has taken this long, I expected it to go quickly. I prefer not to give clues, but there are/were at least three of these in Australia and two in NZ. I have the rego's.
onetrack Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 It's a neat-looking little aircraft, but it's got me stonkered. It appears to be only a tiny machine, a single-seater?
red750 Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Protech PT2 Sassy. I'll do a profile shortly. Here is a photo of one of the Aussie Sassy's. Now, the next puzzle =
pmccarthy Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Looks like a Flight Design CT but with that vertical stab it must be a prototype or something else entirely.
red750 Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 Nose looks longer than the CT and there's no exhaust stack near the nosewheel.
red750 Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 Close enough, PapaFox, it's the later model, GX. The G3 was introduced in 1997, and the production GX in 2006 with mods to improve handling and turbulence penetration. Here is what looks like another Cub derivative. (Edit: the posts by kasper and Machtuk came in while I was out picking up a couple of pizzas and I didn't see them till I posted this.)
