Is it a prototype, or production? I think that the rod is perhaps a red herring and that it's just there as a tool to aid in rigging or something, that we are looking from behind and the tail has been removed. That what we see inside the hull is a fuel tank. The cables being control cables for the tail surfaces. It really look slike fixed gear, but then we have this other main gear just above what looks like a spat and doesn't apppear connected to another aircraft. I don't think it's a bi-wing. The prop tip belongs to what looks like a beaver or similar large single radial in behind there. That spat might infact could possibly be a float or hydrofoil, in which case I'd be inclined to say something like a Shearwater Amphib prototype, but I havn't actually seen any real life pictures of such or know if it exists in the flesh, but the dangling antenna makes me think perhaps not.
I take everything I said back. I think it IS a bi-wing and not amphib, specifically, I think it's an Eagle 150. Don't know about the rod, I'll stick with it being an aid to rigging the tail.
Quite possibly this specific aircraft although the stripe colour may not quite match: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Aircraft/photos/a-174712434/p-75370232.htm
I'll concede my fish though, wouldn't have guessed without seeing this one on trademe.
Nice easy one this week.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wrong.
ReplyDeleteIs it a Burt Rutan design? A LongEZE / VariEZE?
ReplyDeleteAlso, is the stick to indicate when the aircraft reaches a CoG limit?
Cheers!
