    Hi Lefty!
    One really learn something every day! I would have never thought that chinese would buy or build a "Grasmücke" (let alone with floaters)...By the way I wonder whether you could let me have an unphotoshopped pic of the chinese RK9....
    Thanks

    Thank you Mike!
    Someting different. The aircraft is a twin boom Cessna, but what are the devices under the wings? (nothing to do with aerial spraying or similar). Name or purpose will do

    Hi Kevin
    Sorry, no camera. The system had influence on the aerodynamic characteristics. There are small engines/props at the end of the booms. A Cessna 207 was tested with the same devices.
    Will post a link once you all give up!

    Too good for me...

    Sound to me then that they are experimenting with de-energising the vortices produced from under the wing to reduce drag - alternatively using the vortices to recharge the battery?

    Sadly my vortices were de-energised a long time ago..........

    Gentlemen
    Fortunately the devices have nothing to do with age.
    I cannot explain how this Rotor Wing principle works, so please see the links below. Mike will appreciate that the system apparently works on planes and on boats!
    Maybe you will recall that I posted this picture last year (or about). This yellow bird also used the Rotor Wing principle.

    Walter, thanks for those links -Very interesting - I think I can understand whats happening near the stall, but not sure what effect it has on cruise performance. Dont think it would be very good for aircraft cruise speeds above 300 Kts.
    Keith

    This one appears to be a floater as well as an egg beater.

    It's another one from Washington state - the Monte-Copter 15 !

    (bit of detective work here - the motors helped !)

    Well done Mike - I did hope it might last a little longer....but then you are the expert detective of the obscure!!!

    Your turn sir.

    Welcome to our friend from South Africa and how are things in Seapoint?
    I agree about the french having devised some of the weirdest crafts but don't forget that they produced also some of the most beautiful creations...

    So right, very beautiful creations... crashed & burnt with a few..
    I live in llandudno, very close to Sea Point. I belong to the 'Friends of the South African Air Force", a volunteer bunch that are involved with preserving some of the heritage aircraft the Air Force still have.. An Avro Shackleton that we start up at the end of every month, A Harvard, or 2 (North American T-6, a few Mirages & a Buccaneer, amongst others. Not forgetting our Anson & Vampire! All are non flying. (no funds, but thats another story!)

    The French were innovators in every sense. Some were just more stylish than others.

    I recognize BG's latest offering as the Deicke ADM 11 sport plane. Powered by a 22hp engine!

    Hi Moses!
    Correct in every sense!
    Your turn my friend....
    Cheers

    Thanks BG.

    Here is an easy one to ponder over breakfast (or lunch if you are across the pond). Please press on if you know it as I will be out of pocket until later today.

    Hi Moses!
    This looks to me as a Supermarine "Stranraer" in civilian clothes but something tells me that I'm wrong!
    BG
    After checking up I think I'm right and this should be one of the Canadian Stranraer's with U.S. engines!

  25. #9800
    It is the Canuck Stranraer. A cold one to BG!
