    This 1016 machine was apparently powered by a 90 hp Gyro Duplex rotary engine.

    Your typo is fascinating, Dave. 1016 - no wonder William the Conqueror had the edge over Harold if he was spotting from one of these!

    Anyway, your clue would indicate the Empire State Military Tractor ??

    That Sir, looks very much like a Vickers Vivid floatplane.

    Looks like Grigorii Bakshayev's RK/LIG-7.

    If correct (I think I am), OH folks.
    If wrong, gag me with garlic and tomatoes

    What an interesting idea!!! Very lateral thinking, but it obviously didn't catch on!
    It could make a very interesting sim model though....

    They got it backward tho' -- instead of a device to increase area for flight it should have been billed as "Automated Wing Covers for Mother Russia's Winter"
