Might be wrong but could it be a "spacewalker" ?

 

[norab]

nope, not a "spacewalker"

 

[Procrastintor]

It's an F-22 Raptor! JK, is it a warbird or a civy?

 

[norab]

it's a civy all the way,The wings will fold by the way

 

[Airframes]

Ah, folding wings! An Origami A3 !
I thought I recognised it by the fun and rudder, thinking it was 'homebuilt', such as Taylor monoplane or similar, but having seen more of it, now I'm not so sure. I was also thinking maybe a Ryan, but that's not it either!

 

[norab]

Not a Taylor or Ryan, the wings folded so you could tow it behind your car, Another clue, if I give enough maybe you can put it together like a jigsaw puzzle

 

[Procrastintor]

Fly Baby Homebuilt?

 

[norab]

not a Flybaby, I'm feeling generous, here is a pic of the entire aircraft

 

[Procrastintor]

Quick question, is that a parasol wing or is it just attached by those struts like a little weirdo?

 

[Procrastintor]

Anyone else wanna post? I'm completely stumped.

 

[norab]

It is a low wing monoplane, the struts attach mid fuselage rather like the reverse of a say, Piper Cub. Maybe if nobody gets it before then, I will post the answer tomorrow night

 

[Airframes]

I'm fairly sure there was one of these, or something very similar, at my Aero Club a few years back, but blowed if I can remember what it was - something with a couple of letters and a number or two in its title ..... it's that fin and rudder which is bugging me!

 

[norab]

a couple of letters and a number or two in its title

on the right track

 

[vikingBerserker]

Is it Russian?

 

[wuzak]

Is it this?

(Thanks to Google.)

 

[norab]

no, a US design originally and not a Travelair

 

[Procrastintor]

Those aren't showing up.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

The tail reminds me somewhat of a GeeBee, but I have absolutely no clue.

 

[Procrastintor]

is it a spezio tuholer? It looks like the same plane.

 

[Procrastintor]

Same paint, same fat chassis, same giantly square wings, I think we have a win.
