upnorth Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Upnorth, Is it a Burt Rutan design? No, it's not. Paul J's guess of a Blanik is closer in as much as geographic origin of the design and some sailplane content in it. Here's a different angle on it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Pulfrew Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Is that the folding wing, tow on a trailer seaplane thingy? If only I could remember the name! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorth Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Not an AHRLAC. Not a seaplane of any sort. A few hints: European design Only a single prototype built Would likely have been a UAV had it gone into production Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacktjet Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 It's Czech but I cant find it on the net it's so rare! Ironically, I'm sure I have seen an R/C model of this plane! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 ANy body guess this one yet? Seemed to have got overlooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzn20 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Thats 'cos its a hard one.............and thats saying something. A prototype Czech manned twin boomed pusher prop but would have been future drone will take some beating though. The doubler on yours looks familiar but the "Pound Shop" conventional flap is throwing me ! Along with all the others that are throwing me ! The thread says Fun.... It 'aint fun! .......................................Time for bed said Zebidee. It is,my brain hurts! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorth Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 It's Czech but I cant find it on the net it's so rare! Ironically, I'm sure I have seen an R/C model of this plane! I'll let you have it at that. it is Czech and there's precious little online about it in Czech and zero about it in English. It was called the JK-1 and was made by a company called Aeron which was based at the Medlanky airfield in Brno, Czech Republic. Medlanky is primarily a sailplane airport. the premise of the JK-1 was that it could be an unmanned, high altitude aerial survey and sampling vehicle. Here's some views of the whole beast: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Never heard of it. It looks cool though! Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelh Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) ANy body guess this one yet? Seemed to have got overlooked.That flap shouts Cessna to me. Can't say what it is but it's not a 150, 172 or Bird Dog. It could be an early model C182 185 or C206. Edited November 13, 2015 by noelh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be an early model C182 185 or C206. I can't see any flaps. I haven't seen that 'plane on my trek through Google either but not surprised.

noelh Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) Knew it was familiar. 185 it is. Cessna flaps are distinctive. Edited November 14, 2015 by noelh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzn20 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) Sorry noelh............I thought you meant the Czech pusher drone when you mentioned flaps! Good spot on the Cessna. Edited November 14, 2015 by bzn20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
