Silhouette challenge

[Noyade]

They all look the bloody same from the front Ken!
This one's Spanish...

[Lightning Mate]

Wot is then Mate?

I thought the ELA Aviacion ELA-07S.

[skytrain10]

Magni is Australian

??? It is Italian, or at least according to all the sales literature and their website. Anyway its not from Italy

You are not rebutting the gyrocopter, are you?

Not at all, it is a gyrocopter

the challenge is a modified design, or is it built as a dedicated crop-sprayer?

Its an agricultural variant of an existing design and is built as a dedicated crop sprayer complete with hopper/spray gear etc

[Noyade]

I thought the ELA Aviacion ELA-07S.

Yeah mate. That's what my image is...but it's classified as a homebuilt in my magazine?

[Noyade]

Ken's machine has two headlights?

[skytrain10]

ELA Aviacion ELA-07S.

Its the ELA-07F Agro to be precise....so Graeme found the photo, but David identified it. So its all yours David.

but it's classsified as a homebuilt

Not according to the book I found it in....its only available as a complete aircraft, not a kit.

Ken's machine has two headlights?

I see what you're looking at...just the reflection of the headlight on the nose. I only darkened the image as it was taken in twilight anyway....its not a blacked out silhouette.

I'm amazed this lasted so long....if you do a search in google for agricultural autogyro its the 3rd one that comes up! Takes a little longer under agricultural gyrocopter, but its there!

ELA 07 AGRO

Ela Aviación See Products - Models

I do not claim seniority, though.

No. The lower one is headlight. The upper one is the shining nose .

[Lightning Mate]

Thanks Ken.

However, I personally think it should go to Graeme please.

[skytrain10]

However, I personally think it should go to Graeme please.

Happy with that David.....go for it Graeme.....

[Noyade]

Not according to the book I found it in....its only available as a complete aircraft, not a kit.

Apologies Ken. You're correct. Closer inspection reveals that it is not a kit, comes assembled for 55,500 Euros.

Ah...Google...I didn't try that! Shame, oh, the shame...

[Noyade]

However, I personally think it should go to Graeme please.

Nope. I've drunk too much. Take it away David!

[skytrain10]

Something tells me we have the same book/mag!

So what you got for us??

Take that back....back to you David!!!

[Lightning Mate]

In the case of "I've drunk too much" I'll follow you in about seven hours mate.

Don't go just yet, because you might get this one:

[Noyade]

Homebuilt?

I have this mental picture of Ken flicking through "Leisure Aviation 2009/2010" at a rapid rate! LOL.

[Lightning Mate]

It was indeed a homebuilt.

[skytrain10]

"Leisure Aviation 2009/2010"

Or perhaps we don't have the same book!

[Noyade]

Actually my first thought was the Evans VP-1

But no.

What page are you up to Ken? LOL

Or perhaps we don't have the same book!

Probably a good thing!

(Ignores Ken and keeps flicking)

[skytrain10]

Mines 2010/11!!!

Its not in there....is this an old homebuilt LM?

[Noyade]

(Senses a trick)

That's a very rustic looking plane. Do they make homebuilts that ugly these days?

How old is this?

[Noyade]

Mines 2010/11!!!

Bugger! My Newsagent only gets them in (annually) late September...

Bottom of the world...
