The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Hi Chris:encouragement:
The Paraguay 1 by a company named AeroTalleres Guarani SrL from Paraguay. Claimed to be the country`s first indigenous design, but seems there were many Beechcraft Bonanza/Debonair influences. Originally aimed at the Paraguayan AF as trainer, but not ordered. First flown 1981, the 2-seat aircraft is still active in the hands of Flight Club Deportivo Yvytu at San Bernardino.
Google (aerotalleres guarani paraguay 1 Yvytu) and you will find quite some info and videos.
 
Hi Chris, congrats:encouragement:
CIAC ((Corporacion de la Industria Aeronautica Colombiana SA) built (from imported kits) at least 25 of these trainers for the Colombian AF. Last one delivered August 2014. This Legacy FG variant is locally known as the T-90 Calima.

Your turn, please
 
Here is a parasol job with little tiny winglets.

Powered by a Hisso, this model was one of several from this notable designer of the mid 1920's/early 1930's built under his name. He also helped design a number of planes from a certain Long Beach, CA firm.

From 1927. It is in Aerofiles but listed under the wrong maker. (I will credit that answer if you find it). There is mention on the net of it in other places.

The designer also built a couple of twin boom models, with one being a very strange looking aircraft designed for polar exploration.
 
Well the designer has to be Charles Rocheville - and I've been struggling around the Long Beach suspects (Emsco, Zenith,etc) and can't come up with anything other than the Rocheville Special !
