Looks like the Adventure Air Super Adventurer ?
Fascinating Wikipedia entry - 120 kits sold and only 10 registered.
That means there are 110 potential floaters out there somewhere ! I want one !!

Hi Mike
The Adventurer it is!
USA design by Happy Miles and marketed under several names such as Adventure Air Ltd, Aero-Marine, LLC.
The pic sbhows an Adventurer 333 completed in New Zealand as ZK-JZZ (333 for 333hp from the GM/Chevrolet V8 engine).
The stage is all yours!
Here's a chunky wee chappie (posted by a chunky wee chappie..)
Going since 2008 - Nicely done!

If you are new to the mystery game here is a quick set of guidelines.
-You must correctly guess before posting a new one. (Usually you wait for the previous poster to verify the answer). If you are confident on your answer, you can post a new picture without waiting but risk hearing it from the forum regulars if wrong!
-You are allowed to remove nationality and registration numbers (to prevent easy googling of answers). You cannot add bogus markings to throw off the hunt.
-No gliders unless very unusual or of historical significance.
-Please refrain from using Google image search. This is a cheap way of identifying photos and frowned upon.
Have fun! This is not a serious match although we do take pride in being able to spot an obscure aircraft.
I think that is it. Also, don't forget to give the person who guessed your plane a beer on Henry's tab.
Good luck spotters-

It looks like an Airtourer. Whether a Millicer, Victa, AESL, Glos, je ne sais pas.
Agree with PH.
what was the difference between the prototype and all subsequent Airtourers?
This is the Victa Airtourer 100. I believe the prototype was a timber machine - this one looks metal to me but I don't have the reg. Over to PH for a tube of Foster's
Thank you, lefty, for the tinny. Now here's something that's wee but not chunky - and I don't know if it's a chap or a chapesse.
That severe stagger of the wings...has to be the Volland V-10.
I suspected that you'd get it, Kevin. You did, elsewhere, last time! The reason I used the Volland again is that finally I'd found a decent image of it - which is more than can be said for the previous one (which, if my memory serves me well, you described as dark, grainy and illegible!). So it's over to you, sir!
Your memory is better than mine!
Here is a similar machine. The designation is similar as well...
This one showed up in late 1938. Powered by a Regnier.
About all I can pass along before revealing is that a Mr. Botali had some part in the design. That and it was mentioned not too long ago in this thread!
The TU index mentions a Botali-Mandelli Biplan, but I can't find any other reference to or a picture of it on the web. So being a lazy so-and-so, I'll offer this up as a possible identity rather than going to the trouble of doing a reverse direction trawl through the 1938 issues of Les Ailes! However I've a nagging doubt that I've used an aeroplane of this name before and it didn't look like the one you've posted, Kevin. That one, to the best of my recollection, was, to adopt a phrase used very recently, a 'chunky wee chappie'!
Okay, enough with this obscure Frenchie. I did find it in Les Ailes so you are right on that Mike. It is not named for Botali though, it is the Aviana 10.
Here is the unmolested screen grab. Again, wish I could read French!
I'm off to go pick up my car from the shop so open board.
No takers yet?
Okay, how about this nice twin...
'Tis the FIAT APR.2
Funny, in some photos it looks very slab-sided - here, quite round and tubby.....
Piece of cake for the Scotsman.(Better make it a cold one- 100F here all this week).
Thanks Kevin. Not very hot though - Autumn has arrived in July........
Here's a shiny wee fellow -
Spartan 8W Zeus

Hi Chris - you nailed it - had to remove the giveaway markings of the Fuerza Aérea Mexicana - over to you sir -
Shouldn't be much of a problem for you experts.
Chris
Hey Chris,
Pretty sure this is the Merrill CIT-9.

Over to you. I had it made by Cal Tech is the only difference.
Chris
Thanks. Looks like Cal Tech started it and then Merrill Corp ran with it making further changes.
Moving on-
