Thank you Fabulousfour
Next challenge is a twin tail boom pusher type. I did not remove the word experimental to help a little

**giruXX** · March 21st, 2018, 09:15

sorry but I can't see any boom there

**lefty** · March 21st, 2018, 11:23

Pity they couldn't have afforded that extra tin of paint to finish the thing off. (and buy a propeller - or is this one of those warp drive specials, Captain ? I'll just check the dilithium crystals......)

**wout** · March 21st, 2018, 14:26

Hi giruXX

. I meant twin tails
Hi Mike

. No idea about the paint. The owner took the propeller home. I understand that the airfield is notorious for theft.
And for Wads is Worth, The aircraft has an official registration

**wout** · March 22nd, 2018, 03:46

This is the PW-01 by Patrick Wadsworth. Registration F-WIOI and for undisclosed reasons a one-of.
Who dares the next challenge?

***Moses03*** · March 22nd, 2018, 07:44

How about this unfortunate torpedo bomber that a lot of development time and money was spent on...

***srgalahad*** · March 22nd, 2018, 08:32

Douglas XTB2D-1
Too early in the morning for me to find the mystery I wanted to post, so OH fellas

***Moses03*** · March 22nd, 2018, 09:27

Skypirate, arr matey!

For Rob.

**cthornburg** · March 22nd, 2018, 09:30

A search says this one hasn't been used before.

***Moses03*** · March 22nd, 2018, 11:58

McClary Dragonfly of 1931 X951Y.

**cthornburg** · March 22nd, 2018, 16:50

That's it. Pix not in aerofiles

Chris

***Moses03*** · March 22nd, 2018, 18:19

Moving along-

**giruXX** · March 23rd, 2018, 05:03

that could be the Todd Light Express from 1927

***Moses03*** · March 23rd, 2018, 07:17

Could be and is.

Note the Rockies in the background. Not too many designers out of Colorado.

**giruXX** · March 23rd, 2018, 10:30

What’s special with this biplane (as everybody seems to stare at it)?

**giruXX** · March 24th, 2018, 08:57

From the Americas, two neighboring countries involved, unusual material used for construction

**lefty** · March 24th, 2018, 09:24

Enough clues, Uli, thanks - this is the M.F.P. B-2, a joint Canadian-US steel machine !

**giruXX** · March 24th, 2018, 22:29

Bingo!

**lefty** · March 25th, 2018, 03:03

Thanks - short of searching for joint Bolivian/Paraguayan designs, it had to be Canadian !

This one isn't.

**wout** · March 25th, 2018, 10:55

Hi Mike

The Mukai Olive 2 from the Country Of The Rising Sun by Isao Mukai.

**lefty** · March 25th, 2018, 13:41

You got the Oriental angular floater, Walter -

**wout** · March 25th, 2018, 14:57

Thank you Mike

I must admit that I could not find proof that this 6-seater was actually flight tested. But than again, no proof either that it was not!
Sad reasons (death of designer), bankruptcy etc. may be reason not much is on the net.

**wout** · March 26th, 2018, 12:45

The designer was American, but afaik the photo was taken in another country.
The shape of the tail and canopy/cockpit of the aircraft in the back should give some clues.

Boy, with a name like Skypirate you'd be led to believe that the XTB2D-1 was a collaboration between Douglas and Vought! I'd probably pay money for one of those in FSX!

**wout** · March 27th, 2018, 00:41

The 6-seater is the Pulsar Aircraft Super Cruiser 600, built when the company was located in El Salavador. Design of Rich Trickel and derived from his TR-4 Cruiser (Tri-R Technologies) 4-seater. This was later marketed by Pulsar Aircraft.
His first design was the TR-1 KIS (Keep It Simple) and the Volato 400 was a design he developed while working in Brazil.

OH please
