The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

This trainer showed up around 1917. The builder designed aircraft as late as 1965.

Well it looks like a Jenny with a radial motor, but I can't find anything of that description.

***Moses03*** · February 29th, 2020, 06:28

The last plane he designed took the life of famed pilot Paul Mantz...

... in which case it should be the Timm T-18 built by Otto Timm.

***Moses03*** · February 29th, 2020, 06:59

Yes Sir.

Over to Germany.

Thanks, Kevin!

This one might look familiar. An extra beer for what is so special about this bird.

Nothing more to add, Chris.

Enjoy your two pints

**cthornburg** · March 1st, 2020, 09:04

spot on Mike your turn.

Thank you, Chris, Here's something that's modern, but not quite as modern as the Alpi.

And he is selling it too...(AVendre)

Stone me, someone must recognise this little gem!

**lefty** · March 2nd, 2020, 02:11

Not me, sport....

**pomme homme** · March 2nd, 2020, 02:32

You could have had it as a floater too, Mike!

p.s. I think that you missed the clue contained in my last post.

Thank you, Uli. I thought that I was going to have to spell it out! Next mystery from Germany, please.

A floater challenge on dry land

**lefty** · March 2nd, 2020, 22:23

Found this one, Uli. It is the Quad City Challenger II. Amazed to find there were over 3500 sold.

Cute, but I doubt it would struggle to take off with me in the back seat !

**giruXX** · March 2nd, 2020, 23:39

right on the Quad City Challenger II, Mike
As to take-off: with a stronger engine perhaps?
Enjoy your pint

**lefty** · March 3rd, 2020, 01:32

Thanks Uli - we will stick with the watery theme - I think this fellow found a bigger pond to float his creation in !

It might have been a tight squeeze for me too -

(There is some doubt about how far it actually flew, but I think it is interesting anyway. In Aerofiles but no pic)

Hi Mike

This seaplane was built by Harvey Mace and Al Trefethen and registered N90522. It used the wings, tail section and rear fuselage of the 1940s Parks PAR-1 racer which were mated to a new forward fuselage and engine installation (one 100hp Continental O-200-A). The aircraft was nearing completion in late-1967, but did not fly.
(I had some correspondence with Mr. Mace many years ago and he confirmed that)
PS: She was known as the Seamaster and sometimes as Blue Bullet.

**lefty** · March 3rd, 2020, 02:11

That's the one, Walter - comprehensive as ever ! Over to you, sir -

When you think about it, 100hp isn't enough to try and lift all that stuff off the water. Nice story here -
