It is a true full scale ag-plane. The manufacturer was located in Texas and the aircraft was type certificated. Engine was either a Continental W670 or Lycoming R680 (with Jacobs R755 as option). The prototype first flew in 1956.
The American Airmotive NA-75 is indeed all metal, but to my knowledge this design has no relationship with the NA-75. Less than 10 were built.
All metal ag-plane
Lacroix-Trussant LT-51?
rochford is right. Uruguay. The Neybar N-1 registration CX-AGI.
The aircraft is now in the Museo Aeronautico in Montevideo.
Fist flown 1947. Neybar N-1 for Neyeloff and Barandeguy.
Somwhat unusual in having a retractable gear.
I’ll behave from now on, my apologies
Dear Mondariz
Maybe you are right. Was’nt the Lindberg plane a high wing one and how many were sold? Rather then commenting just admit its possible that you donot know.
And why is the topic called “Whot Plane” anyway. Next time I’ll post a picture of a Cessna 172. The fact that is from a country not famous for its aircraft industry,makes it history anyway (I think).
Cheers, Wout
As far as I know only design from this country. After 1945
As far as I know only design from this country. Built after 1945.
Hope photo caption does not give it away (this time)
Ralph,
Am much obliged for your info. Thanks!
Dear Galdri,
you are an excellent observer. The aircraft was offered for sale on the barnstormers site. However, it was not mentioned what is was.
I know of this prototype for many years and the only other picture I ever saw was with a different colour scheme and the registration N941GA in big characters on the side. Its the Global GT-3 of Global Aircraft Corporation.
It seems the aircraft was mainly used to test aircraft propellers, hence the test bed.
Here is another tricky one, also from the USA and a one-off.
.
Here is another one. This time American and first flown 1995
Well done John!
Indeed the Sipavia 261, né the Boisavia B-260 Anjou
Unsuccesful Frenbch effort to build a competitor for all the American steel
It is not American
Hi to all!
I am new to the forum and read with interest the postings on the S-5 replica in which Mr. Bill Hosier Sr. was sadly killed in 1987.
I have a couple of questions, perhaps easily answerable for you experts. I have the feeling much info on the aircraft was not entirely correct and sometimes contradicting. Here we go:
Engine is the 210hp RR/Continental IO-360-C and not Napier. Correct?
Is G-BDFF to full scale or 7/8 scale
What is official designation for the replica: S-5R, S-65, S-5/6, S-6B, S-5B.
Registration G-BDFF and tail N220 and raceno. 1 on fuselage
What is connection (reason) for also seeing photos of aircraft with race no.4 and N595 on the tail (am I missing something)
Thank you in advance for your help
Best regards, Wout (Walter)
Easy one from the 1960s
