Good morning!
The plane is a one-off, constructed and built in the USA.

Good morning and Happy New Year everybody!
I’ve found another photo of the Aigle 777 in the book ” Les Avions Francais de 1944 a 1964″ by Pierre Gaillard. The photo clearly shows both the name/designation on the fin/rudder and the registration F-PFKG on the same plane as depicted in this thread.
The confusion with the “RD1” may perhaps originate in a wrong interpretation/translation of the text depicted next to the photo in this book: “Constructeur et pilote à dix-sept ans, Roger Druine a fait voler, en 1939, son premier appareil, un biplan monoplace équipé d’un moteur Poinsard de 25 ch. Son second avion, l’Aigle 777 F-PFKG était pourvu d’un moteur Train de 40 ch.”
The drawing in avion ancien’s source definitely depicts another, third, plane.
Kind regards,
Thomas
Good evening!

Good morning!
Since there has been no successful attempt on identifying the current “Wot Plane”, I’ll better give you the solution (not much time to “surf” over the Christmas days…):
The plane is a Klinke K-1 and is has the registration D-EGKW. My photo is ca. from the year 2000 when I attended the annual OUV Fly-in in Koblenz.
Open House and Merry Christmas to all of you!
Thomas
P.S. Another more recent picture (September 2008) can be found here: http://www.flugzeugforum.de/forum/showthread.php?32043-Flugbetrieb-in-Grefrath-Niershorst-%28EDLF%29/page122&highlight=D-EGKW
Good morning!
Does it help to add that the construction is not wood or mixed construction but GRP/composite? The plane got a prize for “most progressive” (or is it “most advanced”) construction by the OUV (Oskar-Ursinus-Vereinigung, the German equivalent of the PFA) at some stage.
Initially the single-seater was flown with an open cockpit, i.e. just a windshield.

Good morning!
The current “Wot Plane” is a homebuilt – and as far as I know a one-off. Its construction originates in Germany.

@Avion ancien: If the CaJo 59 does indeed exist, I would be very pleased to learn where. Based on the current edition of Ogden’s “Aviation Museums and Collections of Mainland Europe” I can’t find it among the exhibits of any Danish museum.
The next “Wot Plane”:
Good morning!
Johansen CaJo 59 D-GDFH.
Kind regards,
Thomas
Your next round is the Toyota (USA) TAA-1.
This is correct!

The plane is also known as Scaled Composites Model 302.

OK, next round:
@at Wout: Could you please link/post the un-edited photo!? Dank u
Good Morning!
If I’m not totally off the track this could be the Kensgaila VK-8 AUŠRA.
