• 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.

It is the Miles M.64. :encouragement:
A rather fruitless attempt to enter the after-war private market. I wonder if this plane simply came some years to early, the design is not so very different to a Piper Tomahawk.

Over to Walter :icon29:
 
Found it eventually, Walter - the Michel 1 built by Ludwig Michel in Brazil. A sort of 3/4 scale single-seat Piper clone. with a 36hp VW motor. Very odd.
 
Thank you Walter. Thank you Jane's....:very_drunk:

I was sure this one has been here before, but can't find it - anyway nothing better for the moment.

Mike- Impressed you tracked down Walter's craft!
 
Well, Walter kindly left the reg. on - could not track it down on the available lists, but it pointed me in the direction of Brazil. After a lot of fruitless research into various Paulistas, I stumbled on the Michel in Jane's.
 
I must be getting old, didn't really notice the reg until you mentioned it! :dizzy:


Here is a large amphibian testing the land portion of the program.
