 OK gentlemen, I'd submit to your attention this little bird:  I suspect it's very easy, but it looks so funny that I can't resist...  Cheers | |

I dunno what it is but it's very funny indeed. From the attire of the gentlemen standing on the wing I might infer that it is a U.S.A. venture of the middle thirties carson1934 | |

| A new challenge gentlemen, this looks like a very ordinary biplane but in its own time it was considered one of the world's best acrobatics (observe the bubble cowling)... carson1934 |

| Colani C-309 Sorry gentlemen to take undue advantage of your time, forum space and patience. In my search of push/pull aircrafts you were kind enough to inform me about the Colani C-309 a splendid contraption (or maybe an utopia?) of Mr. Luigi Colani from Pontresina (Switzerland). In googling through the web till my fingertips ached I came across a portuguese forum with an image which should represent a pre Colani C-309, in other words a racer conceived before the actual and known Colani C-309. I'm enclosing its photo which is not so good but it looks like having push contrarotating props (or am I imaging them?). Also there is a name and a number on the fuselage which I can't read albeit I magnified the image. Any further information or picture concerning the above is appreciated. Cheers carson1934  |

| Hi carson, might be I'm wrong but I think and thus I read... "Mach 0.9" on the fuselage of the Colani. And I see contra-props too... Cheers |

thanks very much for your prompt reply. I found on the web lots of information about Luigi Colani who is an utopic genius born and residing in Germany and making a lot of money. The pic I submitted is just a "Standmodell" (static model less than a mock-up) and the article in german states that it is "Flugunfaehig" i.e. unable to fly. The inscription on the fuselage are: Mach 0,9 and "Pontresina", the name of the model. Therefore not a real aircraft but just a static model,i.e.an expensive toy Cheers carson1934  | |

| Honourable gentlemen, I'm surprised, no takers yet for Marcogrifo's post #3290 and for my post #3291? It is understandable that the first heat wave of the year might induce more interesting leisures (at least for us living in southern Europe) but what about our aussie friends who are not confronted with this problem being downunder? carson1934  o |

| Help required please- I don't seem to be able to identify the two jets of the pic attached. Obviously it's US Navy business. Thanks in advance for your cooperation carson1934 |

thanks for your help (I've seen it at least ten times and just couldn't make it out...well, one of those things...). Nobody seems to tackle your post# 3290 and mine 3291 both of 6-11-09. I'll wait till tomorrow afternoon then I'll unveil the mystery plane (unless someone does it before). Ciao carson1934 o | |

| since there are no takers for my post #3291 of 6-11-09 and the forum seems to be frozen solid, let me unveil the mistery plane as well as pilot: pilot is master-pilot Tasnadi "Nadi" Laszlo and plane is Szegedy MSrE M-21 "Harag" of 1936 a hungarian aerobatic plane of which I think only one prototype was built carson1934  |

And now, my little mystery plane: Bassou FB.31 Was a light wooden construction pusher two-seater built in Paris by Sociète de Constructions et d'Aviation Légère, 1935 circa, only two built. Cheers | |
