Well a Mr Miller (I believe that is also the name of a brand of what Americans call 'beer') designed a shrouded-prop zoomer in the 70's. Maybe he did a flying boat too ? Can't find any record myself but, then again, I don't have the Wout vaults at my disposal !
Hi Mike, Indeed a Miller although a different Mr. Miller then the pusher job you mentioned (which was by James Miller). This Model B by Mr. Russell Miller many stock and automotive parts and had a Chevy V8 engine. I think it still exists (reg. N3RM)
Here`s a Bavaria for you
Don't really deserve that, but father taught me never to refuse a free drink..............
Gentlemen, we are experiencing an infestation of backyard specials in this thread.
Here's a proper floater........
Grover Loening has to be involved here somewhere...
Really ??? :mixedsmi:

Obviously, you're both very much in the right area.
But I want the name, please........
Attachment 12855This must be the Loening Monoduck!
At last.......yes, it's the delightfully named Monoduck.
The Monoduck is an interesting design. The tail section looks outdated, yet the hull, floats and front end look a little more modern than 1934.
Here is a sleek one...
He's always been a bit of a sadist, that Texan. 'Lefty's got nothing better to do on a Saturday, so we'll just get him to look up all the low-wing fixed-gear monoplanes.'
All 4000 of them............
and those 4,000 are only the pre-1945 designs. Courage Mike!
Well, it is very distinctive.
Hmmm, yes, it has an inline engine.......
A Regnier inline no less...
Well that goes along with the nearest I got - the wing looks like an SFCA Maillet job, but can't get any further.
You are sooo close...
Let's have a stab at the Maillet Nennig MN-A.
Quick edit - I'm right ! Found a much better pic too in one of my books.
Quick one to keep the pusher fans happy. Better grab it before Moses does..
WNF-16 by Wiener-Neustadt Austria?
You got it.
one-of-a-kind, although there were bros/sisters.
Gosh, that's another one that looks as though it's been assembled from the parts bin.
Mike, it is quite standard, except for the control room area.
so THAT'S what you get when you mate a Morrisey/Varga Kachina with a Cherokee 6???
