Hi Matt !
thank you for your message. Explains your “absence”. Hope you are well and looking forward to your next challenge:eagerness:
As it is not a Badbuy, it must be a Goodsell
The XP-Talon (N420XP) completed by Mr. Vernon Goodsell. The type was initially marketed (as so called modular kit) in the 1990s by a company named Aero-Tech Industries, Inc and planned in several versions. N420XP was the only one actually completed/flown.
Open House, please
Engine is a 420hp 400ci GM V8. The aircraft first flew 2011. Not a Badbuy
Thanks avion ancien.
Hope I got it right and that confirmation will folllow in due course.
This one, I understand, is not scaled to represent a particular WW2 fighter (P-51, Spit or so).
Only one completed. All metal and no relationship with Jurca, Stewart, Titan, FEW, Thunder Mustang etc. but a unique design.
Hello Spartabus !
One of the few Avian 2/180 gyrocopters from Canada. I think this is the final example built, as Model 2/180B, with the “cranked” nose wheel strut (all other 2/180s had a straight strut). Registration possibly CF-JTD-X (?)
Hi Moze, avion ancien :):
Nice info on the Hennion from Casablanca. I under stand it first flew 28 August 1939 with 40hp Train 4A-01 engine and maybe was then known as the Hennion 01. The aircraft apparently survived the war and was made airworthy again in 1949. In/around 1959 the engine became a Continental A65 and registration was F-PFOY. I have seen it being called the Hennion II, or sometimes the Hennion 02, after the mods. Wonder what happed to it.
The tail section looks somewhat familiar. Have no idea, though, on the forward part.
Is it European?
Thank you Dan ! 🙂
At the time the book was published, there probably were plans for both a P&W and Alvis powered MB-323s. The same was said on the competing Piaggio P-150 and Fiat G-49. AFAIK only the G-49 was actually built/flown with the Pratt (G-49/2) and Alvis (G-49/1).
I keep believing that only a single MB-323 (MM554/I-AMAC) was built, although it is puzzling that the museum that houses this aircraft mentions 2.
Hi Kevin! :very_drunk:
The MB-323 it is, but the first or second ? The Italian Air Force Museum that houses the MB-323 mentions
“…only two of which were produced….””, but most other sources claim only a single MB-323 was built and sofar I only saw one MM…….serial.
So guys, please don`t keep the truth hidden for me, it cannot still be a military secret after 60+ years !
Looking forward to your next challenge.
:)Thank you Dan !
One built, although production is also claimed as 2 (!?)
Hi Dan 🙂
I vote for the AA-2 VH-FCX (Mamba) which I have seen as AA-2, AA-2M and AA-2S.
Would you know the CORRECT designation and manufacturer (again different names such as Melbourne Aircraft Corporation, Aviation Industries of Australia, Australian Aircraft Industries, Australian Industrial Corporatoon).
Thank you!
Thanks Moze! 😮
As Thomas got the Ho-33 first, I ask he puts the next challenge on.
Besides, I love the pics of his frequent museum visits, so no doubt he`ll come up with a nice one.
I am sure that Thomas is right with the Ho-33, but I think it is V2 (D-EGOL).
Hi Adrien!:)
That is the one.
Your turen, please
