Let's move on - it's the Wendell WPA 2.01, from Denmark, reg 9-230. Can anyone tell me about those numerical Danish registrations, please ?
Otherwise, Open House...

I would never have got there in a month of Sundays, & Google is no help either on that manufacturer. Neither can I help on Danish registrations, so....
How long will this last?

It looks rather like the Arrow Active I. But generally I'm useless with head on and tail on views!
PH you are correct ....its sister the Mk II is also the subject of my current WIP FS9 model, possibly even FSX native if I can get my head round the SDK!
Your turn Sir!

Hi pomme homme
The CO-4 by Charles Ollivier. I think it is a Robin/Jodel Sicile Record (DR-1051M view the Potez 4E engine?) fitted with a tri-gear. No doubt F-PAJN has many other (detail) changes.
Precise in every detail, Walter. It's your turn again.
Sorry for the somewhat unclear picture. Pusher prop, twin fins and single-seat
From another angle, but still grainy.
My mistake, Was not a single-seater but had s-b-s seating for 2.
First flown December 1956. Had 4 meters long driveshaft from engine (placed at CG) to tail prop.
Not found it yet, but it looks as if its a 'powered glider' & looking at that prop it would not get off the ground with its own power.
Tiger Moth tow in the background?
Keith
Hi Keith
Correct on the motorglider part and initially she had to be launched (maybe that was what Tiger Moth was for?) when a 12hp Lloyd engine was installed. First flight 12/1956. When they switched to a 30hp ILO (JLO?) she became self-launching (first flight September 1957).
Hmmm...Towel job from me again as its not shown itself on Google.

This one-of-a-kind twinfinner is the Raab Dohle. Developed by Mr. Fritz Raab (he also designed the small Krähe (Crow) sport aircraft/motorglider).
The Dohle (Jackdaw) was built from a Doppelraab glider and constructed with help of Pützer Flugzeugbau KG.
Registration was D-EGUB
OH please
That was an obscure one Walter.
Here is one not so off the beaten path.
This was the prototype for an unsuccessful military trainer. It's slightly younger sibling has the same general look.
Not the R-1 Mike. This one appeared four years earlier from an East coast company.
Wild guess as cannot find a picture.....Curtiss Wright CW 23 prototype?
Keith
Not a Curtiss-Wright Keith.
Here is a side view. This might jog the memory on the one that followed it. The wheel pants are a good clue...
Going to be out until late tomorrow so a couple of more clues. It had a Warner Scarab engine. Also note the long ailerons...
Please feel free to proceed if you track it down.
Cunningham-Hall? Predecessor to G-36 (now in the Niagara Aerospace Museum)?
It is indeed the earlier Cunningham-Hall, the GA-21M.
You have the board normb.
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.
Norm
Understood Norm. Maybe we will get something from you in the near future.
Okay then, let's go open board. I'm off with the family to comb a few used book stores this afternoon.
