nope, no little green men, and not a boomerang, in a roundabout way it's a monoplane

Is it perchance, the circular monoplane designed by Mr Steven P Nemeth a former aeronautics instructor at McCook Field, in a roundabout sort of way ?

Nope its not a wind up, there really was one...

It is a circular winged monoplane that currently resides in an Iowa musum (in pieces ), hard to get a better clue than that unless you fine gentlemen are crying Uncle

I was going to jokingly suggest the Leonardo DaVinci replica, but I doubt it's that. I've got an idea I know what it is, but blowed if I can remember what it's called, or where I've seen it !

Ok, I'll be kind. It is a Van Dellen L H2, produced in 1959


guess that makes me the winner, so here is the next challenge

Initial thought was Republic Seebee, quickly binned that one then thought I'd got it with the Edgley Optica (used to built 10 miles from my house !), but I'm now thinking its a chopper of some sort like a MBB105

Sooner or later I'm gonna be right,....
This one's gotta be a heckalopter, the Robinson R-19?

Not a Seabee or Optica, not any type of rotorcraft, if it helps it's a pusher
