The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[Moses03]

Been searching for a suitable Wright J-5 candidate since you first posted the pic with no luck. If this is one of the Dole Derby racers, I'm just not finding it.

 

[giruXX]

no it isn't a Dole Derby Racer
The clue is in the word for the horse-rider

The aircraft has 3 seats!

 

[Moses03]

Three seats...argh! No wonder. (Didn't get the horse clue but that is my shortcoming then).

Uli has been sneaky with the Yackey Monoplane Prototype.

 

[giruXX]

Hi Kevin,

you got it! Enjoy a or two!

 

[Moses03]

Thanks Uli.

This one has a ridiculous name...

hi Kevin
A clue is supposed to help. Which one, the plane or the driver?

 

[Moses03]

The plane has the strange name. It is an extensive modification of a common type.

 

[Moses03]

There is no Aerofiles entry but the designer is mentioned in passing there. The engine is a Continental R-670. I think it was built sometime in the late 1960's.

It looks like a love child of a Commonwealth Aircraft CA-28 Ceres and Grumman Agcat

[Moses03]

Right. This is the Rutten Coon Bottom Monster. It once was a Stearman Kaydet. Open board please-

Hi Kevin
Completely new to me.
New challenge is a chopper this time. I peromise a better picture, once solved.

 

[giruXX]

This looks like a thing called [FONT=Verdana, Arial]Haig-K HK-1[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial] to me.

hi GiruXX
Bingo! As promised a better pircture of the Haik-K HK-1. Design Haig Kurkjian and his Haig-K Aircraft Corporation.
Can you please post one that I know?

 

[giruXX]

No ping-pong, please.

Let’s move forward to something particularly elegant.

Am I right that Willy was involved in that jet?
Could it be the Helwan HA-300?

 

[giruXX]

indeed, it's the HA-300

 

[fabulousfour]

Nice! I guess that there are not so many inflight photos of the Helwan.

Here is another elegant aircraft.

Sorry for the grainy picture.

 

[lefty]

Dewoitine D.560 ?

 

[fabulousfour]

That's it!

Over to you, Mike.

We had a biplane with I-struts recently - here's another, much smarter one...(better be quick as Wout is lurking.....)
