That's all right.
It went through the media as "Mike Wills Mazda 13B powered Van's RV4": https://sites.google.com/site/actualliga/motor-wankel

Must have missed that completely. Maybe that I read the wrong media.
Here is a kite that is considerably larger.
That, sir, is the Packard-LePere LUSAO-11.
That, Mike, is correct.
Enjoy your pint.
Strange, I did a search for this plane whether it had been shown here before and found nothing
When I was googling now for some hints, Kevin's mystery of 2014 (post 9458) popped up...
Thanks Robert. You just have to look at the number of posts, and how long this forum has been running, to realise it is very difficult to find something new !
At one time Ferry was keeping a track and cataloguing all the mysteries, but I don't know if he's still doing it..
Here's one that has been here before, but doesn't show up in the Search box...(some people would call this one a parasol....)
For me that's a gull wing !
1957 Adkisson Head Skinner SJ-1, perhaps

Yes, the oddly named Head Skinner 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.
Our next candidate is a convertible, i.e., one that may fly with open or closed roof.

hi giruXX
What a dilemma!. Is it a Morrisey Nifty, a Shin 2150 or a Varga Kachina?. My vote goes to the Shin.
Funny how the gear stays compressed when it's flying............
I have it as Shinn 2150-A N5151V.
@lefty: look at the main gear: it’s de-compressed. There is a second unambiguous in-flight photo (with closed canopy) where the gear looks identical.
A pint for wout.

Sorry for being over-cynical, Uli !
This would absolutely confirm that it was possible to fly this with the canopy open - I would have thought it would part company with the rest of the aircraft quite quickly !
Continuing with a V-tail
Forget the V-tail, than the rest of the plane should look familiar
.......then the rest.......
Walter, is this the Greenapples AT-19?
See attached pdf for reference.
Good to be back from Las Vegas (business trip, not much fun). Been a long hectic week.
hi Kevin.
That is the AT-19 by Gale Abels.
Thank you very much for the link, new to me and beautiful to see what can be behind a homebuilt story.
Hope the new owners get her back in the air soon!
If you need 2 weeks to recover from the LAS trip, please let usknow. Otherwise we expect you yo do your duty.
Obviously French, but the designer spent the first part of his life in Russia.
It is the Type 30. Note the similarity to a Villiers design. Bodiansky worked for Villiers for a time.
EDIT:
As it goes I found another photo from Sept 1932:

Looks like an Argus motor - might be the Nardi FN 305D ?
