    Ha, that was quick In fact I don't really know, I came accross an old interesting magazine where SFCA advertise the plane on the photo as a Lignel 10 ! the trainer but I got a set of 3D views from the same magazine that clearly shows the cockpit design of the same plane as a 20...
    If someone got more infos on them...

    Yup, not a pretty ship.

    Normally I watch the Masters but for some reason was not interested this year. Too bad Mr. Macllroy did his best impression of Jean Van De Velde. Just not all on the same hole!

    Speculation only, some development of the Junkers Ju 49 high altitude research aircraft to test the effiicency of 2 shaft driven propellers vs one large propeller in the thinner air encountered at extreme altitude.

    Mike- It is a W.33. Not sure why the experiment. Maybe something high alt like Dave suggested?

    I like the thick woodgrain props anyways!
