Id challenge

[evangilder]

Not one that I normally hear much about, so I don't know if there are more in the UK. But considering some were built for the British to start with, I would guess there are probably a couple in either the UK or the former commonwealths.

 

[ollieholmes]

Does anyone know if there are any others in the world?

 

[pbfoot]

the canadian warbird heritage has one and i believe there is one in edmonton

 

[ollieholmes]

Do those 2 fly? The one i photographed saparently has flwon but does not at the moment.

 

[pbfoot]

the one at the cwh does fly and the other in edmonton is listed as airworthy in the aicraft register

 

[ollieholmes]

What are they like to fly? Stable i guess?

 

[evangilder]

If they fly anything like the Texan, they are smooth and forgiving.

 

[pbfoot]

I am trying to find out but if my memory serves me correct they had some inherent problem. When certified they are considered an experimental classification

 

[Nonskimmer]

Well, they were a cheap wartime knock-off of a Texan/Harvard after all. A few instabilities might be expected.

 

[evangilder]

Most warbirds get registered as experimental. There are inherent advantages to doing it that way.

 

[ollieholmes]

I think it looks prettier than the Harvard/texan myself.

 

[evangilder]

There is very little difference between the 2 except for fixed landing gear.

 

[pbfoot]

the yale is a bit smaller

 

[ollieholmes]

Ive not noticed the Exaust down the side on a Harvard.

 

[pbfoot]

yeah its got differnt engine I'll ask my source about the diiferences tues

 

[ollieholmes]

Am i the only one that thinks it is a nice looking aeroplane.

 

[Nonskimmer]

I don't think it's bad looking, myself.

 

[pbfoot]

i found out that the major difference was the wing its totally different coupled with the lower power did not make the yale the step needed from basic to advanced trainer

 

[ollieholmes]

What is different with the wing? Section?

I'd say that's kind of a big deal, wouldn't you? Still, they muddled through I suppose.
