• 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.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Thank you, Baragouin. :love_heart:
(with beer it is as with anything else: too much would be too much :very_drunk:)

It’s hard to find a floater that has not yet been treated here. Let’s see if this one fills a gap.

indeed

I have it as "seaplane version of the MFI-9B Trainer two-seat light aricraft", registration SE-EFE

the next :icon29: goes to pomme homme
 
I think that this one's put in an appearance here before, but not for a while. So what the heck - particularly as haven't spent anything like enough time, recently, topping up my supply of French obscurata!

 
That's the one - of which it was said: 'it was scrapped after the RAE, Farnborough, found the factor of safety to be only 1.75'. Perhaps not extraordinary by modern standards, but in 1921 ..... R.W.Kenworthy must have been a very brave pilot. Anyhow, over to Texas.
 
Thanks Mike.

Here is one that has not been posted before.

Hi Kevin :encouragement:
The unique Jacobs Model 104 (Gyropdyne) which I think stems from the aircraft division of the Jacobs Aircraft Engine Corporation and fitted with one of the company`s R755 radials.
At a later stage she was fitted with stub wings and pusher tail rotor(s)

One-of-a-kind lightplane. Not a homebuilt. Only saw one other picture, but could not use that one.

I found the other picture in Jane's All the World's Aircraft 1980-81, p.19

The aircraft is PP-ZCW, Sao Carlos Engineering School IPAI-26 Tuca
 
Thanks giru. I looked at the Super Petrel but then decided it was the SeaStar.

And now for something completely different...

Hi Kevin :encouragement:
Shorty reply: The General Airplane Services (Mr. Jack Yentzer) Model II.
The somewhat longer answer: Piper J3 rear fuselage/tail feathers, PA-18 cockpit section and wings, Fairchild PT-19 Ranger L-440 engine/mount, new lower wing doubling as fuel tank/hopper, new tandem wheel gear and all this for a single-seater. N202A and first flown 12 October 1953.
