• 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.

Ferry's neat tourer is unmistakeably Arado, and is the L.II (which either means number eleven or a Roman 2 - have seen both interpretations !)

This is the original version with unbraced wing - the later IIa had a braced folding wing and different gear.

According to one site, the original prototype had twin tails, but I've never seen a photo. Anyone ??

For Lefty's attention:
Sorry I've never seen it with twin tails....... The L-II had a nice nickname "Treff-Ass" (Ace of clubs)

Here's another neat little racer. European. Not much on the net about it, but from a recognised manufacturer.
