Its Canadian actually!

I will give it to you, but I was after the name of the manufacturer...Pegazair is just the model. Its called the Tapanee Pegazair 100.



The connection with the Zenair is that Tapanee make the flap retraction kits for the Zenair CH701.

Quite an impressive aircraft when you look at the details...although not in the same STOL performance category as some, it has a stall speed of just 23 mph!

Back to you LM.

Wot a gentleman.

I did find Tapanee after my post, but thought the model would be good enough.

Just finishing off a new one - please bear with me.

The Canadians use Yankspeak - an affliction which is sadly spreading over our country.

Sorry mate; see edit above, it's Open House Edited to say I see you have Ta, looks fascinating but I have to go, maybe coffee time (if I get any today)!

It took me so long because I wasn't at my desk, we've got the builders in and I was moving cars!

Absolute chaos here.

Grabbing cofee while I can!

Ugly bugger innit, tail looks a familiar shape, I think I know where I've seen it, a Farman "Jabbie" something! time for a quick look!

Gorrit, it's a Farman F-120 Jabiru. Now I remember seeing it while searching for WK's Flying-Boat a couple of weeks ago!

Edited to say that AviaFrance calls it that, but I believe there was a twin, and Wiki says the 120's a four!! I thin the reg on yours is F-AHAF

Back to work now, so Open House please if you confirm.

Difficult to tell from the angle, but it could be a Fuji or a Mongoose.
