Not a p.o.c. for the CH-47.
The manufacturer was known for small helis. This one was intended as easy-to-fly(?) trainer

Something from the USA, say late 1950's?
Moses03, yes it is from the USA, but somewhat later (1967)
The Del Mar DH-20
a big applause for Lefty. My guess is that he recognized the pilot:applause:
How about an interesting twin ?
Corcoran Model 65-1 (N7558U) with two massive West Band engines.
Actually I think you got that wrong, Wout, not West Band engines - these were more like Elastic Band engines - all 8hp of them.
Over to you, sir :icon29:
Don't make me pull out my dusty, rarely viewed copy of "Motor Gliders of China", 2nd ed, 1979.
:173go1:
Illinois was in the U.S.A. last time I looked :jump:
(Things could change, though, if Barack is feeling generous on this trip.......)
Moses03, please start dusting of the book you referred to.
Is this one in your book? I have no clue what it is. Looks like a relative of the Scheibe SF-28 tandem-seater. :isadizzy:
Oh my! I was just kidding about the book. It was a funny poke at Lefty for posting the very light Corcoran. I'm mostly clueless on gliders and motor gliders.
:icon_lol: Serves you right ! Wout, he doesn't have that book, but he does have a zillion arcane mysteries in the Moses vaults.....
Anyway, as I'm sure you know, that very pic is in the 84/5 Jane's as an 'unidentified Chinese motor-glider.' Could it not be just a Scheibe, either purchased or stolen by some inscrutable Oriental gentleman ?
Bah!:icon_lol:
Maybe the Shenyang (SSLF) HU-1 Seagull? Two seat motor glider. Four built.
No, the Shenyang was a much snazzier little number....
Moses03, Lefty!
I did realize that the book Moses03 referred to did not exist. In 1979 the only book in the PRC was the little Red Book. In addition the number of motor gliders buzzing around in China in 1979 did not warrant a book, not even in English.
What I got out of it is a nice picture of the Seagull, much better than the one I had. Thanks Moses03.:icon29:
I suggest Lefty continues as he found the SF-28 clone in JAWA.
A smart trainer...
Had a feeling this was from the UK. The NDN-1T "Turbo Firecracker".
Will keep the ball rolling with this unusual biplane with tricycle gear!
It's very similar to the Douglas A-4 drone, but the rigging ain't right....
Knew I'd seen it somewhere - it's a Curtiss N2C-2 (like the Douglas, a pilotless drone -odd they should look so similar )
Right on. :icon29: for Mike
Here's one that has been posted before, I think, but it's a different and rather nice photo anyway. The poster of the previous version (wonder who that is ??**:kilroy:[IMG]file:///C:/Users/Mike/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot.png[/IMG][IMG]file:///C:/Users/Mike/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.png[/IMG]) may wish to refrain ???
You seemed to have scared everyone off Lefty. Dunno why, it's not a toughie.:engel016:
Carry on, then, please, Kevin. I think they have all deserted us.......
This of course is the Hamilton H-47. One-off ski version.
How about a 2-place recon floater?
