Yes, indeed, well done.


 It looks like the type of aircraft that would be of interest for me, I have a set of plans, but when I looked at some of the drawings of the wing configuration-
This is a screen shot from the plans.




There are bits going backwards and forwards, bits going up and down, bits only going down, and other bits only going up!


Definitely not on my wish list!

I had to do some digging to find that one, Alan.  The Eastern Europe clue helped.
Now I guess it's back to me for clues to the next aircraft:

It was usually configured as a two-seater.
Among it's various roles, one role had it being launched from naval vessels and hoisted back aboard after its flight.
It was quite advanced, and had a few "firsts".  (they'll be the next clues if needed.)

No guesses yet?

  • It was usually configured as a two-seater.
  • Among it's various roles, one role had it being launched from naval vessels and hoisted back aboard after its flight.
  • It was quite advanced, and had a few "firsts". (they'll be the next clues if needed.)
  • It is one of the first aircraft to incorporate air/dive brakes.
  • The incidence of the horizontal stab' could be adjusted.

Not many guys who can say that.  But that's not it Sparky.  Air/dive brakes have been around a lot longer than that.

  • It was usually configured as a two-seater.
  • Among it's various roles, one role had it being launched from naval vessels and hoisted back aboard after its flight.
  • In its naval role, it was neither a seaplane (flying boat), nor a float plane!
    It was ditched in the water and remained afloat until retrieved!
  • It was quite advanced, and had a few "firsts". (they'll be the next clues if needed.)
  • It is one of the first aircraft to incorporate air/dive brakes.
  • The incidence of the horizontal stab' could be adjusted.

 Don.
I think it has to be quite a bit earlier than that, but still looking!
Nationality would help?
