    That's it. Just wondering how they achieved lateral control.

    They probably didn't Chris!

    Something a bit newer.

    p.s. I've no idea what the car is - but hopefully not a Carleycar!
    Hi Pomme-homme!
    Should anyone be interested in the genesis of the Carley C12 please connect the following site /www.modelbouwforum.nl/threads/carley-c12-schaal-1-3.153366/ where you will find most interesting pics including the various engines fitted in the Aircraft (Indian Chief, Sergant, Anzani) including a pic of the elusive H-NACI.
    The text is in dutch but a translator is provided. Anyone if you have any doubts I will be glad to oblige as I have a superficial knowledge of the Language…
    Cheers

    The little blue autogyro was flown very recently, possibly earlier this year. East Coast USA but too new for Aerofiles.

    This is another one of those projects marketed as a "Flying Car". The prototype is a redesign of a helicopter already in production.

  6. #17731
    Right! Figured Walter would have stepped in by now.

    This is the heli flying car project from Chris Verta of Conway, South Carolina. The body is from Sport Copter out in Oregon. The wings detach so he can drive down the road.

    Don't have a registration for it.

    Open board then-

    Hi Kevin
    Walter did not know your blue copter/flying car. Just imagine how I feel this weekend.
    But to shift attention to others, as a wise politician would do, do you know this one?

    The designer`s name is also seen connected with another (not related and nothing to do with the designer of the subject plane) tandem two-seater which was designed by M, then factory built by S and V.

    Hi Green
    Bingo! But Morrisey has nothing to do with the depicted V-tailer, which, BTW, had a rather powerful engine for a sport 2-seater (285hp).

    She is the JBS-3 Sky Streak by Beveridge Shinn and registered N111BS. First flight 1987, 285hp Continental Tiara 6-285-C2 engine.
    Mixed steel stube (fuselage), wood (panelling and wings) construction.
    S was for Shinn (2150) and V for Varga (Kachina).

    OH please

    Pssstt........ holiday season is over. Feel free to post

  13. #17738
    And a fine holiday it was. Overcast with light rain most of the day and the temp never went above 85F!

    I don't think this monoplane has appeared before...


  14. #17739
    That might be the Essig Ace.

  15. #17740
    It might be and it is. for Robert.

  16. #17741
    Thanks, Kevin!

    This one is just a few years later but probably a lot faster

    From a very well known stable...

    The engine had just 145 hp.

  18. #17743
    Just heading for another sunny breakfast in Madeira - found this one in 2 minutes thanks to Robert's hints!

  19. #17744
    Thank you Mike. It must be the Cessna CR-3 [NR57Y]

    It is the CR-3, Uli

    According to my source it had an impressive record with all races won where it took part, however, it crashed before the Nationals.

  21. #17746
    How about this?

    De Bruyne-Maas Ladybird (which is supposed to be extant in a barn somewhere in the Peterborough area).

    Carlo

  24. #17749
    Yes it is the De Bruyne-Maas Ladybird (an early exercise in moulded plastics-bonded plywood)

    Apologies for the delay. Here's a far from unusual aeroplane seen from a less than usual angle!
