Guess the plane

[Pominaus]

Grob 115 Tutor, but the one in the back has got me stumped!

Haha, ah too easy! Good job man, yeah that back one... some kind of early Jab?

Well, I'll preface this by warning that I'm one of the worst plane identifiers going (once painted a model typhoon the wrong design because I didn't notice the image I looked up was a tempest until I was half way through), but, what the heck... I'm gonna guess it's a BF109G?Specific version, no clue, but what the heck, swing and a miss... BF109G-1? lol

The bloke who sent me that pic is a WW2 aviation historian. He agrees with YOU Sir. ( That geek has probably got the damn serial number from the factory ! )

Nice looking, but rather odd.

Professor Ed Lesher built the aircraft, it is a Lesher Teal. It was built to break FAI speed and distance records.

I just looked it up, and it sure is impressive. Retracting the main wheels required 18 separate actions by Lesher (who was the only one qualified to fly it). Looks like they swung forward to rest just behind the pilot. I bet he designed a method of nudging the wheels out it there was a fault.

AKOYA seafoil by LISA aircraft

 

 

[red750]

Right on, kasper.

 

 

[kasper]

If you want to design an LSA that has everything and weighs a ton look no further than the AKOYA

 

 

[kasper]

And yes ... that is the entire plane

Goodyear inflatoplane - single seat version.

 

 

[kasper]

Correct. Double points tibname the engine without looking up on the internet

Was a Nelson 40HP, looked like a McCulloch.

 

 

[kasper]

Spot on. Mccolloch 4318. 40-70hp 100 ci two stroke flat four with rotary valve induction. Loud as stink but simple.

Mr Mooney had a go at canard business plane on the 80’s. This is the result - Avtek 400

 

 

[kasper]

Try a 1970’s one
