Thank you, Mike. Here's a somewhat minimal aeroplane that doesn't seem to have put in an appearance here hitherto.

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.

That, Sir, is the M-5 "Phoenix" from N. Masterov in Rossija.
Nice little bird.

Not too much in the net about this bird, however, it is in aerofiles (without photo).

Stout Batwing?

Close, but not the Batwing.

It is unclear, whether this bird did really fly.
Aerofiles says, it didn't because of its engine, other sources quote several flights.

I presume you are referring to the Stout Cootie - references vary somewhat - Aerofiles says it had a 38hp Sperry-Wills (no wonder it didn't fly!) whilst another source says it was a 150hp Hispano ! Not much difference there, then....
There was an in-depth discussion on Stout confusion on another forum - if I'm right about the Cootie, I'd prefer Chris to have the next go as I wouldn't have been on the right track without his guess.

Hi Mike.
Stout Cootie was the answer I wanted to read.
Judging the photos and websites I have found I presume that the Batwing is a different aircraft, perhaps it was a bit pedantic that I insisted in another solution.
A
to both of you.
So, if he wants, over to Chris.

Aviafrance has this as a modified S.P.C.A. 40T designated a 218. Have seen another photo of it labeled a 41T.
The register lists it as such:

That's it I knew it would be easy had it as 41T

Three possibilities - (1) someone parked a lorry between the camera and a helicopter whilst the photograph was taken ; (2) a totally unknown Raoul Haffner design, the Rotalorry; and (3) it is the French mobile alembic that operates in my area each winter to which, for some inexplicable reason, someone has applied rotor blades - but I rather doubt that it is any of these!
