red750 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Yes, it's the Dingbat alright. Can't answer on the engine, and it's too late to start digging around again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kasper Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Well I’ll guess Jodel for the wing but twin tandem seating and glider tug... hmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derekliston Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Sheer, pure guess. Pilot Sprite, designed by Pilot magazine in UK a lot of years ago, or another, because of the tug inference, Mitchell-Proctor Kittiwake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasper Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Sheer, pure guess. Pilot Sprite, designed by Pilot magazine in UK a lot of years ago, or another, because of the tug inference, Mitchell-Proctor Kittiwake? Kittiwake has the same very forward noseleg as the pic but not sure they had taper on the outer panel of the wing. Practavia sprite did not to my recall have the outboard dihedrtal but straight sihedetalfeom rhe wing root. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to post that it was made by Socata, it looked so darn French, but I searched every Socata model and drew a blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
