kasper Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 The DFW is a tad bigger than the one i posted - it was 4ft tall, 11ft long and 17ft across ... and yes the original 1920's one flew - still tracking down the 1970's one to check if it flew.
kasper Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 The answer DFW was to Bull's photo. Yep, I know that. :-)
kasper Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 This one should test you ...[ATTACH=full]36365[/ATTACH] And yes, both the 1920's original and the 1970's 'replica/copy' flew. Performance of the 1920's one was at best minimal, 16hp and 54min to climb to 4,000ft was rather leisurely, the 35hp 1970's one presumably did slightly better. Hint for photo crawling to find it - the 1970's aircraft still exsits and is in a museum ...
planedriver Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 You're driving me nut's kasper:crazy:, but i'll keep working on it. Gotta get some sleep tonight. Geez mate, you and Red can certainly dig em up. All good fun though, and it keep's us older guy's brain active.

If you think Red and I are bad at posting other peoples oddities (and identifying them) you should see how bizarre are the doodles of things I'd LIKE to make and fly - sort of makes Burt Rutan look conservative 1
kasper Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 This one should test you ...[ATTACH=full]36365[/ATTACH] Bump! hints: 1920's original = French 1970's replica = USA
pmccarthy Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Kasper if you don't tell us soon you will pischoff everybody. But wait....that's it.... DePischoff Aviette
kasper Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 LOL well done. The 1920's one is the DePichoff Aviette, the 1970's one in the picture though remains un-named and its NOT aviette ... To reduce frustration I'll post name on Monday if not found before ;-)
pmccarthy Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 I found the replica in the Empire State Aerosciences Museum but it is labelled dePischoff Flying Motorcycle. http://www.williammaloney.com/Aviation/EmpireStateAerosciencesMuseum/IndoorExhibits/pages/17Franklin12ACGSA806.htm This link takes you to picture 18 of an engine but the plane in question is shown in pictures 16 and 17.

Good enough. You found the plane in the museum in the US - it's really called the Lane FlyCycle ... built by a high school group in tech and the cycle bit is the wheels are from a Honda Cub 90
kasper Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 ok to get this moving again, an easy one.[ATTACH=full]36610[/ATTACH] I am pretty sure that is the Curtiss Autoplane
kasper Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Try this one - and yes, I have obscured the reg to make it at least interesting ;-) And Yes, my interests do run towards the tailless
Marty_d Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Er.... that's a woman, not a plane. Mabel? Fanny? If her ID card was a bit clearer I wouldn't have to guess.
