• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Derived from a land plane that appeared in this thread a long time ago. Why they thought the giant central float was a nice aerodynamic solution is anybody's guess.

The company is well known.
 
Hi Mike :very_drunk:
That is her!. Built/designed by Zdenek Rublič, Zdenek Hlavkov and Jarl Tomasov, all members of the Svazarn Aero Club in Brno.
Thank you for the link
Make us sweat!
 
Don't know about sweating, Walter - my mysteries last about ten minutes on average!

Try this biplane from the Twenties...

Woops ! Robert, my mind was elsewhere (a trip to the dentist....:grief:)

You are, of course, almost correct - it's the DP.VIIa, but we won't quibble. :very_drunk:
 
Hrrmmppf...okay I will bite. Perfect for submarine storage, the Loening XSL-1.
Hi Kevin!
Yessir she's the Loening XSL-1 all folded up (yes I must admit this was one of the funniest pics I came across over the last few days).
And now the torch is being passed on to Texas!
Cheers
Carlo
 
Thanks Carlo. (Obviously Lefty was holding back there).


Here is a nifty little runabout that probably benefited from the icy surface to get airborne, that and a stiff north wind!
