  1. I have never built an aircraft and flew only GA (B23, B35, AA5B, C172, PA28, PA28R), so I don't profess to be an expert. I have a list of manufacturers and their production lists. I locate photos and check the registration on the various registers where possible, and Google the details. So I am open to mistakes.

     

    I hope I've got it right with this one:

  2. You're right kasper, Aero Adventure Aventura II. I'll have to jump around the alphabet a bit.

     

    The sample question I posed above was 'borrowed' from another website. How do you feel about that sort of quiz? Not that I'm planning on running one like it any time soon. By the way, know the answer?

     

    In the meantime, my next:

  3. Yes Thruster. Your answer came in as I was preparing this ppost.

     

    Just as an aside, how would you go on a quizz like this?

     

    At a glance, one might think of this all metal twin engine twin tail light transport as being a Beech 18, A18, B18, C-18, D-18, C-45, SNB, or even a Lockheed 12 EXCEPT for the fact it has FIXED landing gear and a patented wing construction of multi-spar stressed skin which employed NO wing ribs or bulkheads, but with exceptional bending and torsional strength. What only-possible production certificated all-metal twin tail, twin engine wheel and float undercarriages-capable aircraft of its time am I thinking of?

     

    1. Name of Builder?

     

    2. Aircraft nomenclature?

     

    3a. Engines manufacturer? 3b. Engines full nomenclature and horsepower?

     

    4. Year of first flight?

     

    5. Year of its certification?

     

     

  4. OK.Maybe I was a bit hard, but you guys are picking them off so quickly. I've only had to hint on - what? 3?

     

    Alright, it's a Custom Flight North Star. Appears on Transport Canada register as North Star.

     

    This Canadian design has had four manufacturers during it's lifetime, and is still in production
