IBob Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 But the snark was made at least in small numbers. More than I realised, Kasper:NZ Civil Aircraft: Homegrown Two Seat Homebuilt Aircraft of New Zealand (2) - Barber HA 2 and HA 3 Snarks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Perry Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 DC3/C47. The Sperry autopilot panel in the middle. Thanks Birdy. . .that would have been the second guess ( Two Throttles - two Prop levers ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deskpilot Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 One Snark made it to Australia. Anyone know where it is now? I love the design. Deserved to do better than it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBob Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 One Snark made it to Australia. Anyone know where it is now? I love the design. Deserved to do better than it did. Deskpilot, according to the Sept 2014 article I posted:"ZK-JIU (c/n 003) is a HA 3B model and was first registered to Bill Blair on 12/11/97. It had a Suzuki G 13-GTI engine. It was sold to P Dunn of Mildura in Australia and its registration was cancelled on 19/2/99 and transferred to the Australian microlight register as 19-3116. It was sold to B Cooper of Melbourne in 2005, and it is still registered in Australia. " I do hope one day to get a good look at one of these.

Birdseye Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 No takers #646? Siai Marchetti SM.109 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Very close Birdseye, but not quite. I tried searching Siai Marchetti SM.109 but could only come up with the Siai Marchetti SM.1019 which had a turboprop motor. The aircraft in question was a piston engined aircraft of almost identical airframe, which competed with the SM1019 for an Italian airforce requirement for a replacement for the Cessna Birddog. This aircraft lost out to the SM.1019, but development was continued with sales into African air forces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red750 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Adventura is not the name supplied with the pink one. Is it known by another name as well, perhaps? The Aventura (no D) certainly looks very similar, but you can search that one and mine separately on Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kasper Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Looks like a comp air 7. But converted to trike undetcart with increased rake on main legs. I’ll start googling but that’s my instant guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kasper Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Yep. It’s not a comp air because on review that’s a pt6 not a Walter on the nose and the windows around the screen are wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 It's an Aermacchi AL-60F-5 Trojan, originally designed by Al Mooney of Lockheed in the United States. After the company decided not to build the aircraft in the US, it was manufactured in small quantities in Mexico, and a few were assembled in Argentina. It was operated by, among others, the Rhodesia Airforce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
