In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

Great thread! The speed with which that PZL monstrosity was named was astounding. Quiet day at the office today?

that looks almost like a Link trainer with wings and lawn mower engine.


There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

No rear fuselage or fin apparent from this angle. Are they slats or flaps? Another fiendish offering...

Is the Black & White scotch whisky container of any relevance? That's it! A radio-controlled moonshine drone with a new consignment awaiting delivery (or just arrived) in the brown trunk!

The fuselage, tail are all there just not a great picture.

Hint: homebuilt in 1927 with a motorcycle engine.

The only thing that google comes up with is an airplane powered by a Harley Davidson engine, at the "wheels through time motorcycle museum"

That's it, then. It's the Miller Light Plane (No relation to the beer. It was designed by a guy named Miller)). It was powered by a Harley Dividson Motorcycle engine.

I hope there are enough clues in this for you guys.
The pics show an 'upgrade kit' to convert a current aircraft model kit into something else.
Just like what happened in real life in this case.

If you know what it is then you should know the names of all 3 aircraft involved.

Oh oh!



The Chinese KJ-1

Aircraft involved are the said KJ-1, the Tu-4, and the B-29...the others being clones of the latter.
