The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Maybe this will help as the photo is a bit dark. Less than 10 came off the line.

It seems at least 5 manufacturers had a go at building the Douglas DT-2, and with several modifications. I'll plump for the Naval Aircraft Factory DT-5. (or is it DT-4 ?)
 
Notice how Lefty pulled the most grainy photo he could find for it. You would almost think typical Russian photography at first glance.:biggrin-new:
 
Thanks gX!
I posted another at the same time - running a bit short of months in a day and I was sure once I saw your pic was on the page (flipped) :untroubled:

It is really too easy, but the similarity added interest.
 
Well, I know. :encouragement: But I don't want to play "ping pong".

B.t.w. I stepped on the R-33 when I first found this one.
 
I think Rob's probably right to a certain extent, in that not many of the old lags here are helicopter specialists, but that's no reason not to post them. I certainly don't hate choppers, and find them quite fascinating, but just don't know a lot about 'em !
Also, there appear to be very few serious books specifically about rotorcraft - if you know of one, tell me.......

Go for it, gX - I had a brief look, thinking it was maybe :canada: - but if it is, couldn't find it !
 
hi srgalahad:encouragement:
I think the whirlybird in your pic is called the Rotorfly (the 2005 prototype), but nowadays known as the Rotor International RI-30 Eaglet. A product of the Kamerton Design Bureau, assoctiated with the Kamov Helicopter company, hence the co-axial rotors in Kamov tradition. AFAIK there were plans (ca.2010) for a German/Russian j/v with production in Russia (kits) marketing in Germany. but donot know the present status.
 
.... and the rest, it seems! The 'top whack' is in the region of US $1600. Is such a price due to the fact that whilst the print run gets into triple figures, it doesn't get out of them? Presumably it's not available to purchase as a download.
 
Occasionally I will price JAWA for the years 1925 to 1935 but they are so expensive I mostly give up!
