lodestar 0 #2 January 2, 2011 Although it's not a production model, I think it was an experimental or prototype of the Bede corp. They have one model, the XBD-2 that has a similar propulsion method but is larger. There was a similar one off design by a company NZ that they called the Mick Duckt N7XR which is very close to the one you have a picture of. I think only one was made and that may be the one in your picture. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slots 0 #3 January 3, 2011 Thank you for pointing me to two interesting aircraft I was not aware of. The XBD-2 was a four seat low wing pusher with a three wheel u/c. The one in my photo is a single seat with a single main wheel plus a single nose wheel. The Mick Dukt N7XR is a two seat pusher with canards and wing tip fins, looks like a copy of the VariEze. Please try again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pchapman 279 #4 January 3, 2011 I can tell a Mitchell from a Fauvel from a Backstrom from a Horton... but that flying wing of yours is a mystery to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once we get a couple years more experience we will be a force to be reckoned with in the near future! BLUES! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
councilman24 37 #6 January 4, 2011 If it's single seat why do we care?My goal is to have an ultralight with radio controls. Fly to altitude, jump, land, pick up controls and land plane.But know we have light sport aircraft regs and soon (if not already) UAV regs. I'm old for my age.
