The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Worked up a good sweat on this one. No it's not a Buhl, Ryan, Travel Air or Stinson or even an Overcashier...argh. I believe it is a Curtiss-Robertson (C1?) Robin, with the OX-5 engine.

So many nuances and variables with the Curtiss line around this time so it is hard to pin down.

Absolutely right Moses she's a Curtiss-Robertson Robin with OX-5...have a good pint of cider (sorry I can't drink it as it gives me heartburns!)
Cheers

Thanks BG.

This wee one was built on the cheap (less than $200) at the time. I left the "N" on the tail but it is not at Aerofiles...

Hi Kevin:encouragement:
A shot in the dark! White Special (N30837?) by William L. White. The tail does not really fit, but was the word experimental not mandatory after WW2?
 
Hi Kevin:encouragement:
Thank you for all the info on this early homebuilt. Seems N90837 indeed had a more rounded tail later (see photos).

Hi Keith :encouragement:
If you get even closer, you may end up building one:very_drunk:.
This is the unique SR-6 by Stampe-Renard which owed much to the Stampe SV-4. The aircraft first flew as OO-SRX in 1949 and was also briefly tested in Belgian AF colours.
Engine was a 175hp Mathis G-7R radial. The registration was cancelled in April 1954 and the aircraft was scrapped

Your turn, please!
