Another little pusher oddball - low-wing floaters always look impossible to me !

Don't think we have had this one before.

I'm quite sure that there must have been "some" lookers now. :very_drunk:

So, time for a clue :wavey:

She was one of the failed military aircrafts produced in the Soviet Union (that's why I wrote "Ochi Tchiornie" [my transliteration is terrible]) in the middle twenties and she's to be found in the net...
If nothing comes up by Tomorrow morning I'll let you know....

My best guess looking at a drawing is:
Kolpakov-Miroshnichenko LB-2LD

Absolutely right Cthornburg!:applause:
The Kolpakov-Miroshnichenko LB-2LD or 2B-L1 (plus almost half a dozen more designations as customary with russian aircrafts) built 1924 and tested 1925 with two engines FIAT (according to some sources) or Liberty (according to other sources). More information can be found on alternate history.
Your turn please!

Hi Chris:encouragement:
A heavy modification of the Piper PA-25 Pawnee by Argentine firm of LAVIASA. Am not sure about name, but I call it the LAV-51-235 Super Master. The Pawnee was modified into a tandem two-seat trainer and I believe at one time the Argentina AF was considering an order as T-34 Mentor replacement.
