• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    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 politicion 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 amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

I would have leapt in with great joy Lefty as I knew all of them but I was pretty much tied up as my son is getting married! Besides I think we should all be indebted to you gentlemen for the very nice and rare pics of the De Monge (master of the unusual but a great personality).
Cheers

BG, I regret that you are indeed 'totally wrong'. There is indeed a strong resemblance to the Curtiss-Wright machine, but this is an entirely different design. It is also European.
 
Unless Wout knows this one I think it will remain unsolved. (Paging Wout...Wout, please come in).

Too many of these new "curvy" low wing light planes for me to get a grip on.:biggrin-new:
 
The prototype (ZU-TAF) of the Sling 4, a homebuilt from South Africa by The Airplane Factory. This 4-seater is increasingly becoming popular, not only in her native country. Available as kitplane. All-metal and Rotax 912/914 engine.
This particular aircraft made some long distance flights in 2011 including one from Rio de Janeiro to Cape Town (6,22km covered in some 27 hours).
 
Thanks Chris :encouragement:
27 hours to fly 6,22 km seems somewhat slow. Distance was in fact some 6.222km.

Hints, if needed, will follow

Hi Kevin :encouragement:
Sorry, no Piper connection, The photo was not taken in the US. That is one of my M601s in the nose. You know this plane better with a much different nose :biggrin-new:.
 
I think the 3 cabin windows (slightly rectangular), the V-tail and the slight dihedral on the tailplane should be clues. And, of course, something is missing on the wings.
