The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

An additional info from "The Vintage Airplane", issue August 1974:

When the data at aerofiles are correct, this has to be the "nameless" Invincible two-seater (110 hp Kinner vs. the 100 hp Kinner on the "Invincible 200") :wavey:

This neat little bird would have deserved more sales. :miserable:

Waiting for gX's mystery. :ernaehrung004:
 
Oh, that wasn't my purpose :redface-new:

I just wanted to clarify some things and not to scrounge a beer - though it is rather warm now in this part of Germany :biggrin-new:

But your wish is my command. :ernaehrung004:

Here we go, first clue: not from the US.

Thank you Robert,

I hope most of you like magret de canard! Occasionally I find a duck in my bird cage.

Hi giruXX :encouragement:
Yound found the Bestetti EB-4 in your bird cage?
I guess you are retiring now and buy yourself a condo in a nice and sunny (not too warm) country close to an airfield with lots of interesting planes and German beers?

Hi Moses
Sorry I contacted you too late to realize that you offered an EB4. Well a few days ago I made a research on that bird and discovered an old card dated 26-8-44 showing the original thing (of course you realize that the published pic in colour is a modern replica of the real thing). For the sake of completion the original engine was a Taveggia "Moscone" (24/36HP)...finally if you want to see it just click on the imgur code...
Cheers
BG (Carlo)
 
Hi giruXX:encouragement:. I read somewhere that the EB-4 was restored by GAS (GRUPPO AMICI VELIVOLI STORICI) in Torino/Italy
For the next challenge, the aircraft in the middle.

Hi Fab4:encouragement:, Hi Carlo:encouragement:
An Aerobat by Ellis Vernon Eichman and indeed NX17638 and photographed in I believe, San Antonio, Tx.
Afaik NX17638 was developed from the 1937/1942 Aerobat I (40hp Continental) and built as Aerobat A with 50hp Velie engine around 1945?
She was during the 1980/1990s rebuilt as Aerobat III (Hirth F20) and lost in July 1997, sadly killing the designer. (Google NTSB N18638)
Btw there was also an Aerobat B (Aerobat II?) which is reported as a two-seater with either Menasco or Continental C75.
Below a 1942 photo of NX17638 with the Continental A40 engine.
Fab4, your turn, please!

Thanks, wout :encouragement:
Without that aerobatic plane in the background I wouldn't have solved your mystery so fast.

Here's my new one, hope it will last some seconds longer as my last one :biggrin-new:
