Here is bipe from Canada that I find attractive (40 knot brain and all...)

I couldn't ID it but I'm sure the wizards here can tell me what it is. Seems to have moth wings.

And thank you and all the other posters for educating us about the more obscure corners of aviation. Lots of great info presented here. I hope it is a premature goodby.


Thanks

WACO low wing trainer?

Gosh, when I see all the bracing and struts on these giant biplanes I think of Nevil Shutes book about doing stress calculations on airships. All manual calculations! Lots and lots,,

Wow! I've not a clue but what a great detail shot!

You guys continue to amaze me with what you dredge up and, even more astonishing, what gets identified!

Keep up the good work! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I look forward to this thread...

Great site. Did cost me a couple hours of enjoyable time. I've no candidate bird to contribute. Open forum?

Found a Found Brothers airplane! I don't remember the model number.

I don't know the airplane type but the prop is a "test club". Used to run in new or overhauled engines. Usually in a test cell but , as seen, you can use the airplane. I guess that's why the cowlings...

Just memory. I'm a fan of Harold Krier and his bipes. I'll never forget when I heard he had died doing spin tests. This is the first picture I've seen of the airplane. Thanks to you for the info.

Spinks (trainer?). Harold Krier was killed doing spin tests in it.

I don't have a mystery bird but I do have a question concerning the early Bell 47 / H-13 helicopters. They all have what looks like a painted semi-oval on the front of the bubble. Is it paint,...

I yield to you. I don't have a good selection of obscure aircraft to put up. I do learn a lot from this thread! Always amazed at what varieties of birds have been built and flown.

Cunningham-Hall? Predecessor to G-36 (now in the Niagara Aerospace Museum)?

wout,

Thanks for the offer to post but I pass to the real enthusiasts. One thing that amazes me is the thousands of aircraft that folks have designed, detailed, built and presumable flown. Then...

Don't know the variation but the basic airframe appears to be a Piper J-4 Coupe. Another "Twin Cub" variation. Landing gear looks to be J-4 parts rearranged.

Concerning that Davis D-1-W data sheet noted above, the picture is of a Fairchild 22 rather than a Davis. Anyone remember the "Biplane" Davis at Old Rhinebeck? They used to taxi it around with the...
