The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

[lefty]

Thanks G - it was the nearest thing to a photo-finish we are going to get hereabouts!

and thanks for the beer, Robert. Now for something a bit newer - a nice parasol....

 

[wout]

Hi Mike
Your parasol is a PZL S-4 Kania 3 from Poland, 1957 vintage.

 

[lefty]

Of course it is, Walter......

 

[wout]

New challenge, a one-of homebuilt with a familiar name in the light aircraft world (designer).

 

[wout]

Two-seater, 1971, O-360 engine. Designer`s name found in history of Piper, Auster, bunch of homebuilts and companies with same name.................

 

[giruXX]

The Rapid Transit by Ralph Taylor [N2554], perhaps

 

[wout]

Hi giruXX
You are too modest. Not perhaps, but for sure, the Rapid Transit by Ralph Taylor with help from fellow EAA`ers Welch and Replogle.
Your turn, sir!.

 

[giruXX]

My next one is a mystery plane in the fog:

A "Magic" photo

That looks like the Eurodisplay SR-01 Magic from Czechia.

 

[giruXX]

It is the Eurodisplay SR-01 Magic
The company seems to have gone out of business in mid-2016 and, if true, that's all history now.
Enjoy the day, Robert

 

[fabulousfour]

Thanks, Uli, the same to you.

Here is a plane of similar configuration.

 

[fabulousfour]

This tiny plane was developed in the 80s and was offered as a kit, it won an award at Oshkosh in the year of its first flight.
A few dozen have been built since with different types of landing gear.

 

[lefty]

AS you know, I'm no expert on modern stuff, but we'll have a go at the Star-Lite SL-1 ?

 

[fabulousfour]

Congrats, Mike, it is the Star-Lite.
A few planes found their way to Europe and one seems to be still flying in Germany.
The picture was taken at a fly-in in the UK around 1990.

Over to Scotland

 

[lefty]

From one streamlined beauty to another (!). Here's one for pusher fans. This cosy three-seater apparently had full instrumentation, radio, brakes, etc.

Just the thing for a nice weekend away with the wife and mother-in-law........

 

[Green]

RLU-1 Breezy?

 

[lefty]

Yes, aptly named, methinks. Over to you, G......

(I know you say you don't have any mysteries - bet you do!)

 

[Green]

Thanks Mike.

Same era as the Breezy...

Hi Green
Your slotted prop beauty could be N5DT, the Taylor Tinker Toy (USA).
However, the pic I have shows her with a lower set tail plane (and different livery)


t).

 

[Green]

Hi Wout.

Tinker Toy it is mate, utilising a Fly Baby Wing and it is indeed N5DT.
Nicely done.
