Thank you, Baragouin.

(with beer it is as with anything else: too much would be too much )

It’s hard to find a floater that has not yet been treated here. Let’s see if this one fills a gap.

No, it is the place where beer grows on firs

It looks like a Bolkow Bo 208 Junior on floats - which may mean that it's a MFI-9.

**giruXX** · September 5th, 2016, 06:45

indeed

I have it as "seaplane version of the MFI-9B Trainer two-seat light aricraft", registration SE-EFE

the next

goes to pomme homme

I think that this one's put in an appearance here before, but not for a while. So what the heck - particularly as haven't spent anything like enough time, recently, topping up my supply of French obscurata!

Martinsyde Semiquaver Alula Monoplane.

That's the one - of which it was said: 'it was scrapped after the RAE, Farnborough, found the factor of safety to be only 1.75'. Perhaps not extraordinary by modern standards, but in 1921 ..... R.W.Kenworthy must have been a very brave pilot. Anyhow, over to Texas.

Thanks Mike.

Here is one that has not been posted before.

Hi Kevin

The unique Jacobs Model 104 (Gyropdyne) which I think stems from the aircraft division of the Jacobs Aircraft Engine Corporation and fitted with one of the company`s R755 radials.
At a later stage she was fitted with stub wings and pusher tail rotor(s)

You got it Walter.

Thanks for the later version photo. Have not seen that before.

One-of-a-kind lightplane. Not a homebuilt. Only saw one other picture, but could not use that one.

**giruXX** · September 6th, 2016, 11:30

I found the other picture in Jane's All the World's Aircraft 1980-81, p.19

The aircraft is PP-ZCW, Sao Carlos Engineering School IPAI-26 Tuca

**giruXX** · September 6th, 2016, 21:24

Time for the next floater?

**wout** · September 6th, 2016, 22:25

Hi giruXX

The IPAI-26 Tuca it is!

***Moses03*** · September 7th, 2016, 06:12

AAC SeaStar?

**giruXX** · September 7th, 2016, 07:36

Yes and No.

There is often more than one correct solution. I showed an EDRA Aeronautica Super Petrel LS from Brazil, but Wikipedia says:

AAC SeaStar SP
North American version marketed by Amphibian Airplanes of Canada (AAC).

Moses03 please have a beer on Henry's tab.

***Moses03*** · September 7th, 2016, 08:22

Thanks giru. I looked at the Super Petrel but then decided it was the SeaStar.

And now for something completely different...

Hi Kevin

Shorty reply: The General Airplane Services (Mr. Jack Yentzer) Model II.
The somewhat longer answer: Piper J3 rear fuselage/tail feathers, PA-18 cockpit section and wings, Fairchild PT-19 Ranger L-440 engine/mount, new lower wing doubling as fuel tank/hopper, new tandem wheel gear and all this for a single-seater. N202A and first flown 12 October 1953.
