Technically it should be 'Name the Aircraft' but I digress.

So, boys and girls, it's another chapter of guessing what they are, Mojojo will probably guess tham all. AGAIN. Wink Annnyway, here are the new contestants.



Answers on a postcard to: Clubleaf206 Productions, a division of Clubleaf206 Heavy Industries. Or, just answer here, that works, too.

Image search shows those odd looking ailerons, looks like a winner.

Had to look up the Kolibri, interesting concept.

They only seem to appear on some models. I wonder what their design function was?

Seems like it would be more drag mounted that way. Can't tell if it's a double aileron, or fixed wing & external aileron

OK, found some info. They were nicknamed "park-bench ailerons" and allowed the use of full-span trailing edge flaps. They were later deleted and replaced with a more conventional partial flap and inset aileron configuration.

Nah, the Hawkeye is a turboprop and that bird has radial (piston) engines. I’m sure mojojojo is right.

Those intermeshing rotors looked familiar, so I "Wiki-ed" this and found that Herr Flettner was brought to the US after World War II as part of "Operation 'Paperclip'" and later designed synchropters for Kaman, some of whose products were used by the US Navy. Also that "Kaman" is pronounced like "come on," not "Cayman." (Wikipedia is good for topics like this.)

E1 Tracer:
Powerplant: 2 × Wright R-1820-82A Cyclone 9-cylinder air-cooled radial piston engines, 1,525 hp (1,137 kW) each for take-off

The E2 is a bit sleeker looking with julienne props Big Grin and a 4 vertical tail.
