• 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.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

To keep things rolling, here is an easy one :untroubled:
Despite the circular cowling, the aircraft had a horizontally opposed engine.

Some hints: She later received a slightly taller canopy, a taller fin with flat rather than rounded top, a cut down rear fuselage and a more normal cowling leaving the cilinders exposed.
The registration remained unchanged though:biggrin-new:
 
N73834 is the FW-1 bij Festus W.Beckner from Texas. Completed around 1964, initialy flown with Continental A65, later with O-200 engine.

Open House, please
 
A propped up biplane to consider.

So I can delete now that plane from my list of prepared mysteries. :very_drunk:

That is the one and only Dornier Do K1 that was later on redesigned to four engines. :dizzy:
 
Spot on, Uli :icon29:

The civilized version of the AEG G.V that was originally developed as a bomber but never used in that purpose.

Your turn, Uli :encouragement:
 
Thank you Robert,

I hope you all agree that this mysterious picture shows some kind of mystery plane

Hi giruXX:encouragement:
I put some money on the Boxmoth Model A by Richard Thomson. A 1975 homebuilt with socalled rhomboidal wing design.
If correct registration would be N 64492 and I will try to post a pic of the Boxmoth B which has somewhat different lines.
 
Thank you giruXX:encouragement:
This is the Boxmoth B. Same aircraft as the A with some minor changes such as tandem wings.
