Good call skytrain10.

Brazilian Air Force. First flew 1966. Basic, advanced, and weapons trainer. Avco Lycoming flat six 300hp.

Have read PM - standby for reply.

All yours.

carson 1934,

I do not know why you cannot see my posts. I simply copy the Photobucket URL to my post when attaching an image. It has worked on other sites, and seems to for everyone else. On this site, at the very bottom of the forums lists, is a thread devoted to computer problems . You could post your problem there (some of the posters there, like here, have great knowledge.)

Hello everyone.

May I assume that I am not the only one presently plagued with the site "security login"?

There is a reason for it methinks - spybots!

Hi LM
I don't mean to be a nuisance..finally I can see the image of your last contribution.
The funny thing is that at first I can see your posts without image and then a while later your image comes through....
Another funny thing is that this happens only with your posts!
But don't worry mate it's not so serious

Clue time:

The company that made this aircraft was producing a well known light aircraft in the 1960's of which this aircraft was a development (but never went into production).

Well done EvansB, it is indeed the Alon XA-4, which was a development of the highly successful A-2 Aircoupe (previously the Ercoupe 415). Unfortunately Alon's financial situation prohibited development and only 1 was ever built.

And here it is:


EvansB, you have control.

Sorry Carson.... Back in the 70's, and Skytrain10 will know this, the likes of Cessnas, Piper singles.. basically anything that is mass produced and single-engined... was referred to as a "spam can"...
