red750 Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 You are right SP. Orlican L60S Brigadyr. I think this one may have been on before, but I can't be bothered ascrolling through 99 pages to check.
Student Pilot Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 Another Dean Wilson design. I saw this thing in Australia, somebody must have bought it out for a tour. It looked very slow in the air but the size is deceiving.
440032 Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 Private Explorer. Yes, I think it did fly around the world many years ago.
Student Pilot Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 Here's a bit of a run down on Dean, very clever man. https://teamkitfox.com/Forums/threads/6306-Is-this-quot-the-ultimate-homebuilt-quot
Student Pilot Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 That last one is a Burt derivative no doubt called after the builders name like a Phil Smith Mk11. But is actually just a widened Varieze, it's a composite canard version of a Burt Rutan design concept.
Student Pilot Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 This has been used extensively throughout the Commonwealth not just a one off.
Student Pilot Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 Wuzza bit easy that one ? I started a bit late to get into EP9's, from all accounts they weren't brilliant performers. Ole bloke I did supervision under had some good EP9 stories, some of the Airfarm one's had Cheetah radials innum. 1 1
Flying Binghi Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 This has been used extensively throughout the Commonwealth not just a one off. [ATTACH type=full" alt="Bug1.jpg]52283[/ATTACH] A set of 35” tundra tyres would just make it look.... finished..? .
red750 Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 The Rutan inspired machine is an Opus 3, from Richard Noble's Opus Aircraft. The first Opus aircraft, the Opus Super 2, was derived from Nobles's design, the ARV Super 2. Opus Aircraft was auctioned off in November 2013.
red750 Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 Seven days up. That "Italian" looking plane is actually French. A Wassmer WA-52 Europa. Here's the first of a few black and white oldies, some oddities.
onetrack Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 An Arup S-2. Designed by Raoul Hoffman. It first flew in April 1933. Powered by a Continental A-40, developing 36HP, the S-2 stalled at just 20kts!
Student Pilot Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 Looks a bit like the UFO ole mate from Moree built 1
onetrack Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 Acme Aircraft Company, S-1 Sierra. Built in 1948 to test the advantages of pusher prop configuration. Built by Northrop engineers Walt Fellers and Ron Beattie in their spare time, it didn't actually fly until 1953.
kasper Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 Avro Athena. One of the odd aircraft - the prototypes were turbine powered but the production ones were Merlin powered. 1
red750 Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 Jeez, you're all knocking these off quickly. Correct of course.
kasper Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 Avro Ashton - the odd fishmouth intake with the splitter for the two jets in each nacelle gives it away
red750 Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 These are obviously too easy. This next one will be too, no doubt.
