The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

I'm sure Robert is right. I have tried to ascertain the armament of this machine - most of the usual sources are unhelpful - either one or two fuselage-mounted 7.62mm guns. Anyone know for sure?

Couldn't find a definite answer as well, Mike.

Here is something more modern and in colour.

 

[Sopwith Chameleon]

The Stilts SA - 6B Flit-R-Bug

 

[fabulousfour]

It is the Stits Flut-R-Bug C-FGIH.

Over to you, Jim.

On the MF9 the armament was 1 synchronized 7.62mm Colt mg.

[Sopwith Chameleon]

That's the one - over to Texas !

 

[Moses03]

Thanks Jim.


Turning back the clock a bit.

The one-and-only Renault O1. 'It is not known whether the aircraft ever flew' says one source, but, who cares....Renaults usually go pretty well !

 

[Moses03]

Very good Mike! I could not find another photo or much info on the net about it.

It does look a little underpowered for its size if you ask me.

Here is a picture of the 'other end' and a 3-view, courtesy of Davilla & Soltan. 2 Renault 450hp, so not so sluggish...

Here's something to keep you going. I can't find any trace of it being here before, which I find odd, so if it has, apologies.

(The mysterous elevation of the rear fuselge has not been done by me, and I don't think Photoshop existed in those days !)
