Little "Eastern" Biplane for You to Name

Hi all,

probably one more difficult question because the connections to the East are not the best. The little biplane could be a Russian homebuilt. I mean to see a Yak-18 in the distance, and something queer in red covered by the searched one’s tailplane. Any idea? If you know the red thing a bid is welcome as well.

Thank you for all answers!

Regards, RT

Happy to help, RT. I did quite a few different searches before eventually stumbling over the “Grasshopper” so I don’t actually remember which search term found it!

Mothminor, thanks once more!!!! How do you get those “Eastern” things?

I am going to store it as “Senukow Kusnetschik” (German transcription, as “Grasshopper” could be anything else too).

Yes, Arm Waver, the aircraft in the distance is a Yak-52. I got a bit cofused, although I have to admit years ago I already sat in one. And I hope to find a matching Letov ultralight.

Best regards,

That was a tricky one to find, RT, but here you go –

It’s a cantilever biplane – quite clever by the look of it. I wonder how well it flies?

I think I would like to see a more rigid cabane though.

Doesn’t look overly substantial, even for a homebuilt. Almost model like.

I think it could be a Yak-52 in the background and the “red thing” is possibly a Letov ultralight design.
