• 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.

The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Sorry, but all wrong answers. Not Asian and no Briggs & Strattons. I scratched out the face because I donot remember whether he was Verdon or Vernon.
Designed/built by twin brothers. Maybe that was the reason they could not agree on the engines and therefore put in two 8hp McColloughs and two 10hp West Bends.
The brothers designed/built at least 2 more aircraft.
 
One last thought for Rob (he started it!) - the ultimate Tuholer......

The four-banger is the Dream by twin brothers Verdon and Vernon Weber from Wisconsin.
Registration N5871. I understand that the tail section could tilt upwards and sidewards for lateral control. Have no idea how this works, but loooks like the early wing warping system.
Will post a pic in flight with some text about he Dream.

Open House, please
 
Something with more heft.

You got it Green. I think it ended up being too heavy to risk a flight.

The heft comment was in relation to the tiny plane that Walter posted.
 
Not a 'Super Cub' but a Super Cruiser (3 seat, front-hinged door)
This is likely N3816M, a PA-12 with a Met-Co-Aire aluminum (Lefty's aluminIum) conversion - aka "The Chrome Cub"

OH if I'm right - have to go mow a hayfield... err lawn.. between rain storms
