It's funny how minds work along the same lines. Me, I was also thinking variable surface aeroplanes and thus the Gérin Varivol. But the available photographs led me to discount that possibility.

It is the Gastambide-Levavasseur, gX, but I think this is actually the second version ? It is certainly a lot neater than the other well-known monster.
Further contributions welcome - in the meantime, over to Gx
Another wee „monster“:

The Gastambide-Levavasseur was a particularly enjoyable mystery in my eyes. I have never heard or seen anything of this aircraft. The small-chord lower wing and the V-struts looked like a support of a Fowler-like extendable upper rear wing. The rest was Google: “biplane variable wing chord surface”.Originally Posted by lefty

Here is a bi-lingual article that appears reasonable: http://modelarchives.free.fr/Bestiai...T_P/index.html It even shares my hypothesis that the first aircraft was shown.

This is a Daimler (Klemm) L18 of 1925...
Cheers

Thanks BG
The funny thing is that it has a Daimler star on the tail and a Harley-Davidson motorcycle engine up front.The designer is Hanns Klemm.

I'll pass as that was here about 1400 days ago (and hiding the reg. is always a good idea)

Applegate-Weyant Dart GC NC31685.
If correct, open house please.
Quite correct pomme-homme (I took it off a very small pic and didn't realize there was a reg number till I resized the pic to a larger format...well no avail to cry over spilt milk...what is done is done!

As no-one seems to want to step into the breach, here's something to tide you over.
Hi PH
I know her as the Glanard Monoplan (F-PEPY). Seems her earlier friends were M. Quentin and Lamette who befriended her as QL-6-2.
You know her correctly, Walter. My understanding is that Glanard designed her whilst Quentin and Lamette built her. Your turn.
Thank you PH
I was toldd M.Quentin and Lamette designed/built her in 1949 as QL-6-2 and then in 1958 M.Raymknd Glanard modified her as Monoplan. Have no idea about the kind of modifications, but
F-PEPY had a lot of friends though.
Next challenge is somewhat obscure, although many many people must have seen her
.
Whilling PJ1?
Hi PH
The name is spelled somewhat different (Douglas S. Wheeling), but no doubt you meant his design. To be honest. am not sure she ever flew, although the pic was taken at Oshkosh 1982.
Registration was N17PJ, the engines were two Gluhareff G2-8-130 pulsejets (mounted on the back). The FAA register mentioned as A/W (Airworthiness) date 28 JUne 1984, but that does not always mean the PJ1 actually flew.
Your turn, sir!
.
Thank you, Walter.
The only reference that I found, online, to the PJ-1 was on the minijets.org website, which uses the spelling that I employed. Hence my error. Right aeroplane, wrong spelling!
Here's an attractive light aeroplane that seems to have had a relatively short life and an unknown fate - unless someone can tell me otherwise.

It's a pity, but I don't have much information about the aircraft, either.

Exactement. C'est à vous.
Here comes another low-wing thing

Hi giruXX
When Mr. Günter Seibel first met her, she was of the high wing family. The GS-2 Starling from Canada (C-GUDA). Piper J3 fuselage/tail feathers mated to own design wings. C90 engine. First flown 1976 and dismantled 1982.
fivefor wout!
That's the Seibel GS-2 Starling.

Push-pull for the small purse
Hey, a color photo I know! I have this one as the Brenning B-Liner.
Hi Kevin
Correct, Orin Brenning`s the girl from Ohio (N285TT) .
