• 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.

Hi Kevin :encouragement:
I think this is the Monte-Copter N68P.
If that is a turbine engine behind the pilots, I would call it the Model 10A (also referred to as Model 14) which had two of these French blowers.
 
Correct on all items. :very_drunk:

Over to Wout.

Hi Keith :very_drunk:
That is her. Seemed the tri-gear conversion (by Kingsford Smith Aviation) was not very successful so the aircraft was returned to J/4 original standards.

Your turn, please
 
Or otherwise known as an ANT-5, as this picture purports to show in prototype form.
Over to you with a stein or two of :icon29::icon29:

If Dr Johnson had been expressing his witty aphorisms in the 20th Century, rather than the 18th, I suspect that he would have described the rebuilding of and attempts to fly this machine (I feel obliged to refrain from calling it an aeroplane), rather than remarriage, as the triumph of hope over experience!

The forward fuselage, at least, looks as if it has been cobbled together using a Sinclair C5, an Optimist sailing dinghy and a wheelchair!
 
Overlapping props (which have mysteriously morphed from pointy to flat-ended), no apparent aerofoil profile whatsoever, and a lugsail up front? Nah.......the product of a disturbed mind.
