It seems the aircraft did not take-off like the B-52 (nose down) and therefore early in the test programme the u/c wheels were made larger and also (as noted by Keith ) the small auxiliary wheels in the inverted V-tail were sized up.
N9VY is the Burak XF-4 by Stanley Burak. 150hp Lycoming O-320 engine.
Google "NTSB N9VY" to see details on the forced landing in 2000.
OH please, or do we skip to-day?
Hi Ferry !
How about the NIAI-1P from Mother Russia ???
Of course honours go to the Scotsman! The NIAI-1 Fanera-2 (Interesting: Fanera, according to Google Translate, is Lithuanian for 'Plywood'..) from Russia it is!
Intel i9-13900 Raptor Lake , Be Quiet! Dark rock slim cooler, 32 Gb Corsair DDR5 RAM, MSI Z790 Tomahawk motherboard, Asus RTX 4060Ti 16Gb, Thermaltake 1050 Watt PSU, Windows 11 64-bit 1 m2, 4 SSD, 2 HDD.
Thanks Ferry - don't know about plywood - think this one was made from all sorts of odd scrap - however some of the regulars here are unduly partial to twin-boomers, so have at it !
Ah, it's the Tawney Owl, G-APWU, built at Stapleford Tawney by Thurston Engineering. It overturned on its maiden flight in 1960 and was then put into storage. However the major components of it are reputed still to exist, albeit in different places.
Is the tail being supported by stacked upturned flowerpots, or what ???
Looks like one of those hot Caudrons - C660 ?
You're close, but your number's too low!
And I thought it to be an oil drum - but they could be flowerpots. Flobbalob, ickle weed!
It's those elevator counterbalances that are bugging me, PH........
It appears that some had them and some didn't...........
Limited data & photos on the web, but if it is a Caudron it could be a Caudron-Renault 714 with fixed undercart & no armament - thats judging by the stbd pitot head & elevator mass balances - the 690 appears to have an underwing one.
Keith
Apparently it is the C.690. I believe this to be a photo of one of the civilian C.690s, which seem to have had elevator mass balances fitted, as opposed to the military C.690/Ms, which seem not to have done so. Or at least that was the informed consensus on the French forum from which I filched this photo! So, Baragouin, you can say to Dev One: c'est à moi, aujourd'hui!
I think I have found further proof of it being the 690 in this photo of F-AOLM, it has the stbd pitot head & elev mass balance.
Keith
That photograph appears to be pretty conclusive evidence, Keith. So we await Baragouin......
Hi BG. I believe you have posted a Baumer B.III.

Thanks BG. Sorry for the late reply, been out all day and just got home a little while ago.
Here is a nice looking sport job to consider. Does the aeroplane in the background help at all?
Quick stab - purely based on the tail shape - something from Inland?
The very photograph of this Inland Sport is to be found at http://www.dmairfield.com/airplanes_type/inland/.
Okay, considering this was a bit difficult with no photo at Aerofiles, I'm going to give the nod to Green. Nice detective work based on the tail only!
The link PH posted takes us to a much nicer photo of the one and only Inland W-600 of 1929-30. Curious that PH's link calls it "Unidentified Inland Aircraft, Kansas City Municipal Airport, 1929".
