    There is going to be a # 8 isn’t there, CM?

    Hi Phantom,

    Great pics,
    As no-one has answered my question, do I assume there is no difference between the F-80 & T-33 ?
    I have been unable to find the answer on the net

    Cheers

    That AT-6 – it’s got the early model tail but the three-bladed prop. Anybody know anything about this? Like the markrings- NACA.

    Actually, not to get to far off the ‘109G topic, I notice the AT-6 has a semi-retractable tail-wheel.
    Is this like the “Zero” conversion ones?

    Last I think is a Douglas World Cruiser 🙂 , I will let Turbo give you the Navy spec :rolleyes: , Cheers Rob, Tally Ho! Phil. :diablo: ( :dev2: ” Gut Nacht “)

    Darn it, I tried to stay out !!

    The Navy equivalent of the Douglas World Cruiser was the Douglas DT-2.
    This could be equipped with floats as well as also having the option of a torpedo.

    Hey Phil,..

    Ancient proverb- “He who hesitates is last (or lost)”… 😀
    Anyway, I find Crazymainers quizzes fun and challenging.

    I love the pics you produced,..he was definitely I pioneer of unusual designs.
    Not sure about a prop in the middle of the fuselage though… 😮

    Cheers

    Just purely out of interest, Gerry, is this going to be able to fly ?
    And also do you have any pictures ?

    One of my ambitions is to build a Pietenpol Air Camper. One day it will happen !!

    Cheers

    Okay Crazymainer,…this is getting a bit of a hit or miss affair.

    The only other reference I have to a Wright on floats is a Wright Model B, possibly a B-1.
