onetrack Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 It could've been worse, they could've named it, the "Screaming Fireball"! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 S-38 is correct, OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Student Pilot Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Boing B23, eazy peazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Partly correct. Yes, it's a B-23, but built by Douglas, not Boeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenn Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 2058 looks like an inflateable plane to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Fisher Aero Culex L2P. A kit build product in wood from Fisher Aero (Fisher Flying Products), based on their desire to produce an ultralight that mimicked the DeHavilland Mosquito. Two 80HP Limbach 2000 engines power the Culex, another version is the Culite, powered by 2 x 50HP Rotax 503's. Finished weights ranging from 431kg to 454kg. In looks, it's certainly no Mosquito.

red750 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I honestly thought that one would take longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red750 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 The site I got the image from called it a Slipstream Skyblaster, but a check of Slipstream Industries website does not list such a model, so I'll accept your answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_Atrick Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Looks remarkably like a Robin Aiglon R1180 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_Atrick Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I take that back.. Just noticed it has retractable undercarriage - the HR100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flightrite Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 That reminds me of the French Gardan aircraft, it too was ugly!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 You are right Jerry, the HR100. After more than 350 planes, I'll throw it open to you guys for a while. It's getting too hard to find something you don't guess in a day or so. At the same time, if there is anything you think should be profiled in the Showcase, let me know. Remember that there are also about 350 profiles stored on the IPS system to be transferred, otherwise I will have to re-do them. I've PM'd Ian 3 times about them and am waiting on a reply.

Jerry_Atrick Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Obviously, if I could work out the aircraft, there's not much left. :-) I was thinking yesterday that we haven't heard from Ian in a little while. Does anyone know where he is? Hope he is OK! Shall we have a rule for now that those that last guess it have post the next aircraft to guess? Here is mine..

kasper Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Nah the stolaero is not THE picture. The twin plank developed from the epb1 backstrom plank is THE picture ?. And the location is the powerhouse museum Sydney. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thruster88 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Onetrack and Kasper both correct, I wanted to put up the Steve Cohen Condor having flown one of those but could not find a picture. For anyone not into ultralight history Steve Cohen designed a number of aircraft including the Thruster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_Atrick Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Did this one ever get airborn. It looks rather busy. The Caproni did get airborne.. it was designed as a flying ship to go across the Atlantic.. It got to about 60' and crashed... They didn't build another. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
