The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[fabulousfour]

Thanks, Kevin.
The CO-4 came instantly into my mind, however the rudder looked strange. But I managed to find a picture of that modification. Nice source, by the way

On with a speedy monoplane.

Is that the Curkurs C-3 YL-AAB?

[fabulousfour]

That was faster than I had hoped for.
It is indeed the Cukurs YL-AAB, Mike.

A toast to France

Thank you, Robert. I'm afraid that I have nothing ready to go and I shall be out until this afternoon. So if anyone else is ready and willing to step into the breach, please do. If not, I shall try to find a new mystery when I am back at home later today.

[pomme homme]

I'm back sooner than expected ..... so here's the next mystery.

I know this. I've it in 1/72.

[cthornburg]

It's a one off from Europe

Chris

[giruXX]

here it comes

[cthornburg]

I'm surprised they have a model of a one-of.

That's it.

That’s perhaps because the history behind it is pretty interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruhrtaler_Ru.3


Here comes my new offer

[Moses03]

Hey John, hope you are doing well.

It is the Strat.

[DHC2Pilot]

Thanks Kevin - all is well here. Haven't posted in quite a while, but I have been lurking in the shadows. Onward with the next ungainly mystery:

[DHC2Pilot]

Has an entry in Aerofiles, albeit without photo

[DHC2Pilot]

In its birthplace, the mountains of California can barely be seen through the haze in the background. Two engines known to have been tried on this ugly duckling - a 60hp Velie and a 40hp Continental.

[DHC2Pilot]

She got her Cert. of Airworthiness in 1932.
