The Igor Bensen B-3 Midjet?
yes for sure
"The cleverly named Midjet (combining "midget" and "jet") was basically a B-6 with ramjet engines mounted on the rotor tips. This tiny helicopter was said to be capable of lifting several times its own weight." [https://www.vortechonline.com/bensen/]

A 2-seat motor glider, sort of homebuilt built with foreign help/support/advice.
She is European, but the engine is not.
Engine from USA (originally) and help/advice/support from Germany
Another photo
The motor glider is the SSV-17 from Yugoslavia. It was developed by VTC (Vazduhoplovno Tecknichi Centari Vrsac) and a design of Mr. Ivan Sostaric who received help from
Alfred Vogt and Theodor Sigmund and his Sigmund Flugtechnik from Germany.
First flight June 1972 and engine was a 60hp Franklin 2A-120A. Registration YU-M6009.

Hi pomme homme
N50GB Butterworth 2/3 scale Whirlwind II by Gerald B.
Exactly. A monstrosity employing the wings and tail feathers of a Grumman AA-1 combined with a new fuselage and VW engines. The result was supposed to be a 2/3 scale Westland Whirlwind replica. To employ some current British television advertising copy .... 'should have gone to specsavers'!
Over to you, Walter.
This doubletailer had a bad start.
The twin-boom pusher should be the Cinquanta D B Hawker II.
Hi fabulousfour
The DB Hawker II (registration N2262) was built by Joe Cinquanta and the pusher engine is a 45hp Sachs 440 two-stroke unit.
In initial form the aircraft had two small jets in pods under the wings, but during ground/engine tests high temps of the exhausts gases caused the tail boom covering to "melt down".
After repair the Sachs was installed.
There is a nice article in EAA`s Sport Aviartion Magazine January 1975
Your turn, sir!
Thanks, Walter.
Let's go to biplanes again.
The Curtiss Model 41 Lark probably.

Over to the Black Forest.
Thank you Robert.
Here comes a sleekly Sunday floater.

I can't believe that it would be this obvious but it looks like a Piper Cherokee Six on floats!
