• 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.

Thank you, Kevin. We haven't had a helicopter for a while, so perhaps try this. It won't be any surprise that it's a homebuilt. It may be more of a surprise is that, according to what should be a reliable source, it flew!

 
You have the country, Chris. It is said that, under its own power (a Honda Civic auto engine), it rose to the height of seven feet - and there's no mention of the pilot employing a seven foot high cliff face to assist him to do so!

Nope, not on your life would I try that, nor not in my life which, if I did try it, would likely end quickly :dizzy:
 
I don't think that there's any point in persisting with this one. The helicopter dosn't have a designation but it was designed and built by Mubarak Abdullahi in Kano, Nigeria, in 2007. Open house!
 
Another British non-starter (a bit like our Winter Olympians). The Britten-Norman Nymph, described as an 'expensive copy of a US plane' built for a market that just wasn't there.
 
Spot on Lefty, & with a bit of modification she became the NAC Freelance, which didn't catch on either.
Over to you:very_drunk:

Thank you Keith - here's one that didn't go much further either -

Mike, are you participant in the aviaquiz? I know that photo only from there and recognized it immediately.

On with a monoplane.
