• 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.

That was my first impression too, Mike. The photo also appears to show a curious lack of horizontal tail surfaces on the port side !
 
..... and a rudder with so little surface area that one wonders how, if the aeroplane lacked ailerons, the pilot managed to turn at all in flight.

Actually it is the much later (1975) derivative, built by Robert Lefebvre, but I think they are essentially the same. Over to you, Robert - :very_drunk:
 
This is the Bijou by Roger Petersen, Minnesota. Engine is a 40hp Rockwell/JLO two-stroke. Aircraft intended to explore the overall configuration. Wingspan was 8.75ft.
Completed around 1973.

Open House, please:jump:
 
The strange thing about the Petersen Bijou is that it looks familiar somehow, but even now knowing the type I couldn't find anything about it in the www :dizzy:

How about this beauty?
