The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Hi Green:encouragement:
Your picc prompted me to do some further research. It seems that Tinker Toy was flown with a T-tail, with a cruciform tailplane and (finallty?) with low-set tail plane.
N5DT was purely for R&D work and used to test the GM (Chevrolet) Monza car engine. She was grounded in 1978 after an accident.

Next challenge will be up in a few moments.
 
Next challenge is some sort of STOL plane, but with a difference.
No bonus for guessing the mark/brand of the bus.

Hi fabulousfour:very_drunk:
Correct. The Danko was a Yak-12M (the metal version with the original constant chord wing), modified by a team lead by Mr. Anatoly Baluyev (ca.1984/85).
She was used to train local aeroclub members, but also for aerobatics, somewhat unusual for a Yak-12.

Your turn, sir!
 
I'm pretty sure it's a Brochet. The trouble is they look so similar externally! But I'll take a guess at one of the MB.80 series, maybe the MB.81?
 
Thank you, Robert.

I don't think this has been used here before - at least, a google search doesn't give a positive response. So here goes .....

 
Thanks Mike.

Apologies for the delay. I think this is a nicely designed biplane for it's time...

Hi fabulousfour:very_drunk:
That is her! In original form she had a pusher prop.
Your turn, please
