Blimey - there's bits of "all looks familiar" in that!

Can't see the wing, but was it top-strutted?

American?

Must go now - let's hope some more players pitch up soon.

Good luck with it.

Not American. Although it sports a tail-skid, it was considered state-of-the-art, as it was of all-metal construction.

harping on abou the diskoplan see:-

GDR Pirna

and

Mystery Aircraft? - Page 1051 - RC Groups


all other references I have found give that aircraft as the Diskoplan 3.

I am not trying to muscle in with sour grapes, just inform those that are interested.

A'rtnoon LM ,

It looks like it has a lot of family likeness to the Prage E.210. The first development in '36 had a single fin and a tailwheel, but they did fit tricycle gear at some point before they went twin-tail, however, the nose profile is wrong, unless it was an unbuilt first draft?

Two posts at the same time.

Well done mate - it is indeed the KZ-V1 Taxi.

Are you sure you want me to pronounce OH?
