I stand corrected. John must be the motor glider expert.:salute:

The Kuzakov MAK-15 it is!

**DHC2Pilot** · February 5th, 2011, 19:43

Playing directly into Walter's hand with this next one.....a low wing strutted T-tail beauty. Just got lucky on the Kuzakov....way outside my comfort zone. :mixedsmi:

**lefty** · February 6th, 2011, 05:16

This bird has flown in here before - dashed if I can remember what it is though! Really must take a note of these things......... French ???

**wout** · February 6th, 2011, 06:34

The European influence in this one is the designer. Luigi Pellarini from Italy (he did quite some work in Australia).
The Victa R-2 of 1961.

Assume Kevin is absent due to some ballgame? :USA-flag:

**lefty** · February 6th, 2011, 07:01

Yes, you posted the Victa in June 2009, Walter, and I found it then after many hints and much searching !

Re Kevin, don't think the ball game has started yet, but not sure if he's a big gridiron man anyway..................

***Moses03*** · February 6th, 2011, 07:10

Kevin is just waiting for the small light single aircraft conspiracy to end...

**wout** · February 6th, 2011, 10:10

As you wished, Sir!
nice twin look-a-like

***Moses03*** · February 6th, 2011, 10:59

Thanks Walter. That would be a Yakovlev Yak-4.

**wout** · February 6th, 2011, 11:22

I will and can not deny that Kevin! :ernae:

***Moses03*** · February 6th, 2011, 11:33

When in Rome...

***Moses03*** · February 7th, 2011, 09:21

Figured Wout would have been all over this one already being post war etc.

**wout** · February 7th, 2011, 10:46

When you (or someone else) posts the answer, I will probably end this hobby if it turns out I should have known the answer. (the Alaparma-Mantelli series seem smaller)
I dunno, honest!:redf:
I noted the DC-3/C-47s and other planes in the background, but I got no further than it is probably immediate post-war period.
Please end my misery asap!

**lefty** · February 7th, 2011, 10:53

I wouldn't fret, Walter - it's probably something bashed together by an Ohio motor mechanic in his lunch hour......(although it almost looks like there are bits of Vampire in there...)

***Moses03*** · February 7th, 2011, 14:12

It received it's flight certification in the early 1950's. Not from Ohio or this side of the pond for that matter...

**wout** · February 7th, 2011, 14:24

Hi Kevin, if you only had posted the second photo first........

I exchange the DC-3/C-47s for Lusinov Li-2s, if that is OK with you.
The Tadeusz Chylinski Pegaz from Poland and nowadays in Krakow (Warszaw?) Museum ?
Had never seen the first picture before and of course that is a very legitimate excuse for my slip up

***Moses03*** · February 7th, 2011, 15:18

You got it Walter. :salute:

**wout** · February 7th, 2011, 17:13

No clues, yet
I think this type is somewhat underestimated (unknown?)

***Ferry_vO*** · February 8th, 2011, 02:48

That's a Serbian AF Utva Lasta.

**wout** · February 8th, 2011, 03:05

Hi Ferry, it surely is

control is in your capable hands

***Ferry_vO*** · February 8th, 2011, 03:16

I have probably nothing that you guys can't identify within a heartbeat, but I found this one interesting:

Attachment 30670

**lefty** · February 8th, 2011, 06:43

Would that be a PZL130 Orlik ??

***Ferry_vO*** · February 8th, 2011, 07:12

Yep, the first version of the Orlik with a piston engine! :ernae:

I see the lack of a canopy and some devious editting to make the photo look older didn't help!

**lefty** · February 8th, 2011, 09:39

If you'd made it any darker I would have cried foul, Ralf.......

Here's a nice wee sleek and speedy floater - easy, this one, but I like it!
