[duncan]

Tucano , but whats the dangly bit ?

 

[adzam]

oh

now yer askin

dunno mate !

 

[duncan]

....but the dangly bit ? What is it ?

 

[wonwinglo]

Lower air brake to slow the aircraft down,not adviseable to take off with it hanging down as one pilot did,by the way the R.A.F nickname for the Tucano is the 'Meccano' due to its rather complex construction and lack of servicing hatches,not popular with fitters.

 

[duncan]

Jeez it is very small . wonder what the speed differential is deployed and not deployed.

 

[Wowbagger]

Duncan, that's two you've got right. :yeahbaby:

Are you gonna post a pic' then, or what?

 

[duncan]

: I`m computer duffer, but I`ll get a whiz-kid to help . I`ve got a beauty coming, ideal modelling subject... a colourful biplane:thumbs:

 

[Wowbagger]

Here's one while we wait for Dunc'. (he'll get this too!)

Waco Cabin ? If it is, dont forget it is pronounced "walk-oh" not "way-coe"as in Waco , Texas. They were made in Ohio I think . Mostly biplanes dont know if they did a monoplane. Any good? :music_whi

 

[Wowbagger]

Erm - no... :blow:

***Transland Airtruck made from some Harvard parts.

 

[Kiwi]

You'r on the right track, its just the manufacturer thats letting you down. Have another go?

 

[wonwinglo]

How about Transavia !! now where did I get Transland from Neville ?

 

[Kiwi]

Sorry, The Australian Transavia Airtruck , among other differences, is powered by a Continental IO- 540.

While you're working on it have a think about this.

You`ve got me stumped mate. Very Harvard looking front end(with Hamilton CP prop?). Still on the agricultural theme are we ? Is it a beefed-up Stearman or Waco war surplus job ?:dontknow:

 

[Kiwi]

Like Barry with the previous one you are in the right ball park. a total of 76 of the family were built, I'll give the pair of you another day or so (or until I find some more of my albums)

[Kiwi]

Just to show I'm not all that mean, here is an easier one to go on with.

A Wirraway duster ? Come on Barry help me...! The big bipe, is it a pre Ag Cat Grumman something , before they made it really ugly ?

*** Is that a Stearman with Ag Cat wings and P & W powerplant ?

Still working on the other,Ag aircraft can be real teasers Kiwi.
