The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Found a better photo (well at least it looks like one) and a color drawing from a modeling magazine.

**lefty** · February 7th, 2015, 22:39

No other takers ? It is the Mihail Stabiloplan from darkest Romania. Cute,but a tad noisy, methinks !

Lefty swats away the little flea.

Nice second photo.

**lefty** · February 8th, 2015, 11:26

Here's something a little more civilised - a very smartly turned-out machine...

Hi Lefty!

It's rather similar to some Waco designs except that yours has one wing less!
Cheers

**lefty** · February 9th, 2015, 05:02

I agree with you entirely, BG, there are very similar Wacos, but all biplanes..

No connection, I believe, although produced at the same time, and not very far away from Waco......

***Moses03*** · February 9th, 2015, 19:35

Guess I should have a notion on this one. Not having much luck.

**lefty** · February 9th, 2015, 21:51

This one is in Aerofiles - the Davis D-1-W, although wrongly stated there as a single-seater, when it plainly has two !

Following Green's mystery chopper - here's another rotary machine -

**Dev One** · February 10th, 2015, 10:45

I think a clue might be in order - who would think that a 4 blader with wings not turned up at the tips would be so difficult to find........

Hello Lefty!

I'm gutted by the Davis mate and yeah, I got a bum steer from Aerofiles! But I'm ashamed of myself - I had this photo from a magazine for 40 years and it never clicked. I never realised it also came with a covered canopy. But that's life.

Your autogyro - from Europe, but not that Cierva fellow?

**lefty** · February 10th, 2015, 14:19

Hmm, G, there are some notable differences between your photo and mine- gear struts, vertical tail surface, etc etc...

Anyway, my autogiro is not European !

**lefty** · February 11th, 2015, 00:03

The whirly fans are lying low..... This one is in Aerofiles (sans photo) and was actually an historic machine - the first-ever rotorcraft with cyclic pitch control. There, that shouldn't take long to Wiki !

Hi Lefty.

I Googled that - and got a Wilford WRK Gyroplane?

http://www.gyroplanepassion.com/Wilf...Gyroplane.html

But it doesn't look right?

**lefty** · February 11th, 2015, 00:45

It is the very same machine, G, with the wings removed (X794W) The tail must have been altered too See Aerofiles.. Over to you sir

**Green** · February 11th, 2015, 01:00

Thanks Lefty.

**Green** · February 11th, 2015, 18:34

Now, the side view...

**Dev One** · February 11th, 2015, 23:16

That side view gives it away ---possibly? Martin XB10?

That'll do me Keith - certainly became the B-10. This was the Martin XB-907 or Martin Model 123 with the open cockpits.

And it's over to you...

**Dev One** · February 12th, 2015, 08:10

Thanks G, again very generous of you.
My offering now, hope its not been up before....
Keith

**normb** · February 12th, 2015, 08:47

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 lower wings attached then drop them off prior to take off. "Flyiung Farmer" type act as i remember.

Texas Kitten triplane......I believe this is correct although my knowledge of US aircrafts is very limited...but this is so unique!
BG

PS Also called "Cactus kitten" if I'm to believe Wiki?

**Dev One** · February 12th, 2015, 10:22

BG - yes thats the one, although I have it as the Curtiss Cox Cactus Kitten 2- Cox being a Racing pilot I believe.

Over to you sir,
Keith

Thanks very much Dev One...as usual very kind!
After the USA crafts galore I suppose a european item should be in order....
Cheers

***Moses03*** · February 12th, 2015, 11:43

Hi BG, I think this is the Bourgois-Senemaud 40.

**Baragouin** · February 12th, 2015, 23:43
