The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[wout]

hi Kevin
A clue is supposed to help. Which one, the plane or the driver?

[Moses03]

The plane has the strange name. It is an extensive modification of a common type.

[Moses03]

There is no Aerofiles entry but the designer is mentioned in passing there. The engine is a Continental R-670. I think it was built sometime in the late 1960's.

It looks like a love child of a Commonwealth Aircraft CA-28 Ceres and Grumman Agcat

Pete.

[Moses03]

Right. This is the Rutten Coon Bottom Monster. It once was a Stearman Kaydet. Open board please-

Hi Kevin
Completely new to me.
New challenge is a chopper this time. I peromise a better picture, once solved.

[giruXX]

This looks like a thing called Haig-K HK-1 to me.

[wout]

hi GiruXX
Bingo! As promised a better pircture of the Haik-K HK-1. Design Haig Kurkjian and his Haig-K Aircraft Corporation.
Can you please post one that I know?

[giruXX]

No ping-pong, please.

Let’s move forward to something particularly elegant.

[fabulousfour]

Am I right that Willy was involved in that jet?
Could it be the Helwan HA-300?

[giruXX]

indeed, it's the HA-300

[fabulousfour]

Nice! I guess that there are not so many inflight photos of the Helwan.

Here is another elegant aircraft.

Sorry for the grainy picture.

[lefty]

Dewoitine D.560 ?

[fabulousfour]

That's it!

Over to you, Mike.

[lefty]

We had a biplane with I-struts recently - here's another, much smarter one...(better be quick as Wout is lurking.....)

[wout]

hi Mike
I think she is the Hoefelmann CH-1 Schatzie in original (1967) form (N86495)

[lefty]

..as predicted.. Not a bad job for $2000, although it took him nine years.

Over to Holland !

[wout]

The CH-1 Schatzie in later form with retractable gear and (larger) squared tail. Must jhave found some money somewhere.
I noted this aircraft also as the Hafe CH-1 *aftwer 7 hears of grounding). No idea why the name change.
Next challenge will follow a.s.a.p.

[wout]

Next challenge is a tri-geared job. Wish I had a better camera when I was young.

[lefty]

S.N.C.A.S.O. SO.7050 Deauville.

[wout]

Hi Mike!
Can I say that you are not wrong
The only Deauville with a tri-gear. All others (including this one at a later stage) had the more familiar tail wheel.
You forced yourself into this situation, so we expect "and now for something completely different"

[lefty]

Here's a shiny fellow..

[giruXX]

Shiny like a wizard from a western country

[lefty]

Cryptic answer from gX is good for me.... Westland Wizard.
