WHAT PLANE IS THIS ?

[Blackhawk]

Can anyone shed any light on where this aircraft originated, the builder or designer, or any information at all would be appreciated.

It could be an early prototype of this! :thumb_up:

Bugga, another of my supposed original ideas thought of by someone else.

Not totally sure but I have a feeling it's a french design ?

Very nice. It would be more impressive if it had 2 or more seats.

 

I can't help but think that the engine pods would be contributing to a lack of aerodynamics versus an aircraft with engines fitted within the wings, but then again probably wouldn't make much difference.

 

I await the answer........

Betcha that's taken at the French experimental aircraft club at Moulins Vichy France.

 

I won a cup there in 91 with my SV-2 Vampire. Drop a line to them asking about the plane. If possible in French .. but I guess they'll take English. Carl

Thanks Carl,

 

I have emailed them for information (in French).

 

A language translator program comes in handy from time to time.

RSA Moulins

 

Hi Graeme, Mistake ...I was there in '89 with the SV-2, not 91. And the event was run by the RSA ( French Experimental Aircraft Assoc). I think they've changed the name in the meantime though. As far as I know, I flew the first Australian built UL at such an event in France, and took out the prize for the longest inbound flight to the meet !. I took off in Sth Germany, and flew via Basel (Nth) to Moulins, Sth of Paris. Great days. Hope they reply with the info you want .... C
