    Moses03, thanks for the picture of the AER-1 It gives a much better idea of the overall configuration than the front view one (and that is the only picture I ever saw, sofar).

    The new one is a stinker (except for the real buffs). It looks like a .... and also as a.... and even like a...., but its a one-off.

    Rausch Aviation's 'Hudstar.'

    What is known in the motor trade here as a 'cut & shut'.

    Rausch Aviation's 'Hudstar. ------------------- which, BTW Kevin, was an entry in the 1953 London Christchurch (hint, nudge, hint) race although withdrawn before the race began.

    for Lefty and :ernae: for srgalahad for the interesting info.
    Take the nose, forward fuselage, wings, engines and u/c of a Hudson and mate these to the rear fuselage and tail group of a Loadstar. Then just add a couple of windows and you have a Hudstar.

    Looking forward to Lefty's next posting.

    Thanks, Wout. A nice friendly, familiar trainer - or is it ?

  7. #2257
    Everyone on vacation, then ?

  8. #2258
    Have not had time to track down this license built looking trainer. Something from Argentina maybe? China? Haven't a clue other than the cowling maybe...

  9. #2259
    On the right track, as ever......

    A wild guess, the IAe-22 ?

  11. #2261
    Nipped in smartly there, Wout. Yes, it's the I.Ae D.L. 22-C with the Armstrong Siddeley Cheetah engine instead of the usual El Gaucho (as I'm sure you were all dying to tell me!)

    Thanks Lefty. I have a good day as usually I am not that ""strong"" on pre-1945 types.
    This twin is an easy one. I expect the answer will be on the forum within 30 minutes.

    Someone bought a Beech, flew it out to the west coast. They set up a company (i.e. Morris Aviation of Long Beach) rebuilt the one-off Beech under a new name "Morris Beachcomber 1" and promptly went bankrupt when they could not sell their upgraded Beech to the public.

    It it only had twin booms or a pusher engine!

    Or a 37mm cannon in the nose.................

    Some clues:
    The manufacturer if a very old company and did not go bankrupt, but instead decided to merge.
    Believe it or not, they planned a military version, although I am sure that was not a gunship.
    Moses03's remark on the twin boom , pusher etc. is another hint. One equally very old manufacturer built one with the same Model Number.
    And no, my twin is not :USA-flag:

    Mea Culpa !
    My mistake. The twin boom pusher I referred to did NOT have the same Model Number as my twin. Since I cannot blame today's temperature, it must have been the booze.
    To make up for my mistake. The twin is European.

  17. #2267
    I am going memory here as I cant find a picture but would it be a Siai Marchetti 210?

    The Fawcett Aviation Pty. Ltd. Model 120 from Australia. Designed by Mr.Luigi Pellarini , flown in 1954 and in the photo it is fitted with the second engine (the original one was a DH Gipsy Major).

    BTW Naki,can you confirm the second engine is a Lycoming O-360 or is it a different maker?

  21. #2271
    Yep correct...

    You are correct re engine:

    The aircraft was stored for many years till 1979 when its original 130 hp de Havilland Gipsy Major 1 Series 1 four cylinder in-line engine, the aircraft was re-engined in 1979 with a Lycoming O-360 four cylinder horizontally-opposed engine.
