The odd one out..?

[Ferry_vO]

A slightly different game for the aviation experts here, based on the 'Have I got news for you' show.
Four aircraft, one's the 'odd one out'.
Let's see you come up with some creative answers! (And yes, the FW190 is a replica but that's not the answer I'm looking for)

I'd say the picture with the Russian aircraft. It doesn't have a Douglas DC-2/DC-3 in it.

 

[Tako_Kichi]

The 3rd one...it's orange...lol.

..........The Russian one - the Pilot is so enormously tall his legs stick out the bottom of the 'plane ..................

Presumably all photos taken at Lelystad - is it something to do with powerplants ??

 

[grunau_baby]

The orange DC2 is not in flying condition!

It could not be the powerplants, the FW (if it is from Flugwerk) has a chinese engine, the yak a russian or also chines power plant, the DCS most probably P & W. That does not rule ONE out!

They all have the same propeller manufacturer, except for the FW

..........The Russian one - the Pilot is so enormously tall his legs stick out the bottom of the 'plane ..................

Lefty is on the right track here...

Alex too, but some of his assumptions are wrong..

 

[lefty]

In that case, does the Yak have a P&W motor ? (some did) That would leave the Fw as the odd man out ????

 

[Ferry_vO]

Lefty is getting very warm, but it's not the answer I'm looking for yet!

The DC-3 photo provides another clue...

BTW Alex: Love your avatar!

 

[lefty]

OK, one more go.

I'll say the DC-2 is odd man out as the only one with its original engines. (Wright Cyclones ?)

The Fw has a Chinese motor, I know the Yak is a replica so probably has something similar, and the Orange Peril has god-knows-what under those cowlings to make it look nicer ???

Other than that, I give up !

The FW-190 replica flies with an ASh-82 engine, the same that powers a Yak-3. The Yak-3 has a R-1830 which we also find in DC-3's. The orange DC-3 is fitted with a pair of R-1820's from a DC-2!

 

[OBIO]

The DC-3 doesn't have spinners...just the bare prop hub.

 

[Ferry_vO]

Obio, the orange DC-3 has a pair of DC-2 engines fitted that once belonged to a former RAAF DC-2 (The fuselage is somewhere in side the museum) which have the original two-speed props, not the constant speed ones like their flying DC-2 has.
