It's the Ca 122, isn't it ?

***Moses03*** · March 15th, 2012, 16:35

That is the one!

No word on how our sheet metal apprentice worked out moving forward.

**lefty** · March 16th, 2012, 05:30

Something a little earlier, but no lovelier.

***Moses03*** · March 16th, 2012, 09:31

LeO-8?

**lefty** · March 16th, 2012, 10:56

Yes indeed, Kevin. Over to you

***Moses03*** · March 16th, 2012, 12:40

Here is a big brute!

**lefty** · March 16th, 2012, 22:42

I think this has to be the Huff-Daland or Keystone XB-1B, although what the difference is I know not ! Moses will reveal all ?????

***Moses03*** · March 17th, 2012, 08:21

Not a Keystone or Huff she be. Note the fancy nose art.

**lefty** · March 17th, 2012, 08:45

In that case, a Curtiss B-2 Condor ???? Amazingly similar.........

***Moses03*** · March 17th, 2012, 09:34

on the lumbering Curtiss. Sure would not want to sit out on the wing in that gun perch!

**lefty** · March 17th, 2012, 15:52

I suspect a certain Dutchman will pounce on this one..

Hi Mike :salute:
A rare breed. The unique Conal (Companhia Nacional de Avioes Ltda) W-151 Sorocaba from Brazil.
First flown August 1964, lost in accident in 1983. W for Willibald Weber, the designer and registration PP-ZTD

**lefty** · March 18th, 2012, 07:50

What can I say ? Lost in admiration for your ability to provide chapter and verse on the most obscure.....

for the Brazilian.

**wout** · March 18th, 2012, 09:11

a twin float plane.
I hope the timing will allow a gentleman in the great state of Texas to join in to show us his expertise on aircraft with a swimming diploma.

***Moses03*** · March 19th, 2012, 07:00

Expertise is nil.

**wout** · March 19th, 2012, 07:05

Hi Kevin :salute:
how about ag-planes?

Hi Ferry :salute:
The Z-37 it is

. Proficiat.

Your turn please

***Ferry_vO*** · March 19th, 2012, 13:59

Thanks Wout!

Here's something with an interesting undercarriage concept.. The guy with the hat is the designer, and the black stripes were added to the image because the original photo was for sale on a website.

How cute ! Would the nautical-looking gentleman be of the Dutch persuasion, Ferry ??????

***Ferry_vO*** · March 20th, 2012, 07:14

Zat is not ze case, I'm afraid!

The aircraft on top of that weird undercarriage is a standard production model of a manufacturer specialized in light aircraft.

**lefty** · March 20th, 2012, 09:01

A Klemm L.25, maybe ?

***Ferry_vO*** · March 20th, 2012, 09:24

Close enough, I have it as a Klemm L.26, and here's a bit about the two balls beneath the fuselage:

I suppose the idea itself could work, but I guess there's an enormous amount of additional drag!
