Stelio frati only really designed one aircraft and mutated the rest. The Falco begat the SF 260 and the Frati jet. The S211 is probably the furthest he has strayed from his original design.
Yeah, that would be it. Household door hinges for control surface hinges, IIRC.When I saw it, at Rockford or early Oshkosh, it had the VW. As soon as Merle landed, he got out and used a can of spray paint to touch-up the paint job.

It hurts to look at that.
According to Wiki (Blackburn Blackburn - Wikipedia), it is a Blackburn R1 Blackburn. So good that they named it twice.Blackburn bison
It’s a British Blowfish 1933. Usually the Brits named their aircraft after some bizarre bird, fish etc.OK, I'll bite. What is it?
Great, now I have to build one! Makes me think of a civilian U2.Jet-glider puts on a beautiful display...... very elegant......sound is awesome.......
I don't see any such listing in Wiki, Blackburn Aircraft - Wikipedia, Not that Wiki is the be-all and end-all. But it does show the Blackburn R1 Blackburn as noted in #624. OK, after re-reading, it looks like I missed your point. Senility is slowly setting in. And yes, it certainly resembles a Blowfish.It’s a British Blowfish 1933.

This looks similar to an ASW-19 or -20 can't quite see if it has flaps. The canopy is a little off, though
Registration shows it as a Tetra 15 built by Bradley Hill.This looks similar to an ASW-19 or -20 can't quite see if it has flaps. The canopy is a little off, though
And the Porter?but my personal favourite production aircraft is the PC-12 - everything Pilatus makes is stunning as far as I am concerned, from a functioning aerodynamics and form meeting function point of view they tickle me in the right spot.
First time I saw Porter, about 1962 or 3, I though it resembled a rat with that long nose and what I remember as a 5 bladed prop. It sure could land and take off in a super short distance, though.And the Porter?
I remember the first sight of a Porter. Yes, quite functional. A bit heavy on the stick.
Saw them in operation back in the day very impressive for the job they were doingFirst time I saw Porter, about 1962 or 3, I though it resembled a rat with that long nose and what I remember as a 5 bladed prop. It sure could land and take off in a super short distance, though.
