There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
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 politician 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 among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

But the aircraft is a mystery!
Nope, not on my radar. First time I'm hearing of this designer.

The country is right, the registration also and I believe you on the name.
All I got is that the designer (plus builder?) could be a Mr. Yakstas, member of the Argentina EAA.
An earlier aircraft bearing his name was LV-X95 (later also seen as LV-X095), the YBS-721. That aircraft may still be around.
Columbo, How did you find her? I would like to fill my shoebox.
Your turn please

When you wrote that the plane is from the Americas but not the US, I assumed that this plane might come from Argentina, like the Berca that you posted some time ago.
I then eventually stumbled upon a site about an EAA convention in Argentina where I found the plane.

When you scroll through the pages, there are lots of photos of the "Malvinero".
If I understand the site correctly, the Malvinero is to be equipped with two small turbines as extra power for displays (?).
Next mystery will come soon.
Edit: Found a photo where the aircraft seems to have installed the turbines already.

Uli, enjoy a refreshing cold beer against the heat
Yesterday we had unbelievable 37 C and no rain since weeks. Feels - and looks - like Sahara
Mike, as a consolation prize, what about a small cup of beer?

this is all correct. According to my dictionary Mastgans means „fattened goose” and this is what was behind Robert’s comment. I don’t think that this is the right time of the year for a Mastgans meal. But we shall be happy with the bird you are going to present next. Enjoy
Thanks for your comments over the "Mastgans" I couldn't find it on my Langenscheidts but eventually I discovered the translation on the net which is exactly what you said....
Having said that may I submit this nice monoplane coming from a rather turbulent country...let's see if you agree on her name...
Cheers

Hi Kevin!Good morning Carlo. From our neighbors to the south, the TNCA 5-E-123.
Yes you got it though I have her only as TNCA 5-E. By the way would you have some information such as year of first flight (I have it as 1926), which engine was fitted in….information on mexican aviation is to say the least scarce, misleading and the few available posts give often conflictual infos…
Cheers
Carlo
