kasper Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Looks like T-bird ultralight on skis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Yes, the yellow one is the T-Bird produced by Teratorn Aircraft of Clear Lake, Iowa. The trike is a La Mouette 02B from France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasper Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Thought of the Mouette but couldn’t remember the trike. In addition to the pusher three axis I posted try this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I know nothing about this class of aircraft, and a search of images of ultralights has not located anything like it, so I'm happy to leave it up to others. I also know nothing about trikes, PPC's, gyros, gliders, and for that matter, bikes and boats either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Further to previous post, I've never ridden on a motorbike, even as pillion, and my boat experience is limited to Spirit of Tassie, Magnetic Is. ferry and Manly Ferry/hydrofoil. I've lived a sheltered life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kasper Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Looks like an early Kolb? Nope. :-). This one and the one I posted earlier will hopefully keep you all stumped for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red750 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 48 hours since a guess. Looks like you've bamboozled more than me this time, kasper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasper Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I live to bamboozle. Hints. The two seater in the first unidentified of mine is a factory built from France. Great climb ability - I raced one from a small field in Loire valley - his 912 vs my 912 in a WS trike - he kept up with me and not many three axis can.

derekliston Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Tin boxA design by mr Heinz A copy of a design by mr Heinz A development of s design by me Heinz Savannah A number like 701 Or it might be the Land given it looks like it has a fixed cuff on the leading edge And as most are built as kits or from plans let’s call it a seriously boxy short takeoff and land performance tin box with railway carriage undercart to deal with pilot error on arrival. =;-P Much more like the Savannah than the 701 and by the way, I like my 701!!!

red750 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Wow. This thread slipped to page 5 of the What's New 14 Days. I think it's about time you gave us some answers, Kasper. In the meantime, this one is not part of the quiz, I'll give you the answer. It is a rare Super V Bonanza with two 180hp Lycomings, not the Twin Bonanza (T-Bone). This photo came up on the Vintage Bonanzas Facebook page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Twin with a vee tail. Can't see how that would optimise yaw control for assymetric flight. I didn't like the Vee tail anyhow. They seemed get a yawing wobble up with a bit of gusting wind. It was dropped after a while.. Beech are well built planes structurally. Not cheap though as one would expect.. I would imagine they have a big following. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 They are an acquired taste. Aficionados love them. Some owners post 4 or 5 photos of their pride and joy a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Cessna's will lift stuff out of places they won't with a similar engine. The fowler flap on the Cessna works... You have better exits too. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thruster88 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 1083 is The Moto Du Ciel Might need a clue on the other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasper Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 1083 is The Moto Du CielMight need a clue on the other Yes! A French Humbert moto du ciel. The hints for the other one is it’s Italian, it went into production BUT this is the prototype and it’s fabulously different from the production ones ... can’t make it too easy now :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thruster88 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Kasper I don't think anyone is going to get this one, might need another clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasper Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Ok. The unidentifiable ultralight - the ultimate post for this thread :-) - is of Italian manufacture. I’ll post the answer in a week if not found by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmccarthy Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Only thing close is the Bagalini, but I cant find a photo. And it isnt very close. Wikipedia says: The aircraft features a strut-braced parasol wing, a single-seat open cockpit without a windshield, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration. The Bagalini's fuselage is made from wood and metal, while the wings are a wooden frame covered in doped aircraft fabric. The rear fuselage consists of two tubes, one above and one below the pusher engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
