Yes indeed Mr.Green it is the GM1 of Gregory Musica first flown in 1939 and fitted with a 40HP Salmson (YR-MUS)...
My compliments it wasn't easy but you're a top class spotter

Your turn of course....

Thanks BG.

Hi Mr. Green

One of the Australians with Italian background. The Victa R-2

**Green** · February 15th, 2015, 10:57

Yes, well done wout!

**wout** · February 16th, 2015, 01:08

Thank you Mr. Green

I'll try: Miller M-6 Twin (made in Milwaukee)?

**wout** · February 16th, 2015, 03:27

Hi Baragouin!
Very sorry, but not the M-6 by Mr. Miller.
I had not heard of this twin until very recently.

**wout** · February 16th, 2015, 07:40

It is not in aerofiles.com

***Moses03*** · February 16th, 2015, 16:04

The landing gear sure looks flimsy. Two Continental C-85's?

**wout** · February 17th, 2015, 00:47

Hi Kevin

Acc. to the caption Continentals indeed, but C65s. Said to serve as prototype for a planned all-metal project.

**normb** · February 17th, 2015, 06:50

Don't know the variation but the basic airframe appears to be a Piper J-4 Coupe. Another "Twin Cub" variation. Landing gear looks to be J-4 parts rearranged.

**wout** · February 17th, 2015, 14:31

Hi Normb

You are correct with the J4 fuselage. The aircraft is the WemmerTwin by Mr. H.M.Wemmer of Pine Mountain Valley, Ga.
Year around 1955, two C65 and also J3 parts/components used.
Registration N30350 and this is still in the FAA register as a Piper J4, but the registration was only recently cancelled. Have no idea whether the Twin was brought back to J4 standards or that it lingered on in a dark corner of a hangar as the Twin.

May I invite you to post the next headache?

**pomme homme** · February 18th, 2015, 01:18

That's a fascinating story, Walter. But I wonder how Mr Wemmer was going to square things with the Piper Corp., vis a vis design rights, when he started production of his planned all metal project?

**normb** · February 18th, 2015, 06:49

wout,

Thanks for the offer to post but I pass to the real enthusiasts. One thing that amazes me is the thousands of aircraft that folks have designed, detailed, built and presumable flown. Then obscurity. Only remembered by we weird types....

Think of the effort to build and fly just one of these birds.
