name that plane
« on: December 27, 2007, 04:37:44 PM »
Gentlemen,

  My first go at posting pictures so I figured we make a game of it, Here we go. After hanging in the closet for more then forty years my father said take this and have some fun with it. After 4 times scrubbing the dust off with 409 I got it somewhat clean. So all you veterans of combat take a shot at this it may be easy or not, we shall see.

Have fun,
Tom

Definitely not a T-Square.  The T-Square had a square wing, square elevator and a square rudder.

but....

The T-Square came by its ugliness fairly naturally.  Whatever that thing in the pictures is, someone beat hell out of it with an ugly stick, that's for sure!

Tom,
  I'd thought you would like that.

Ray,
It definetly is different but, it actually was a successful design.

Well guess I'll sit back another 24 hours to see if anyone else can get it. I thought maybe Minn. Ray or Phil C. had a shot at it .  I'm sure someone out there can "name it"

Thanks,

Tom
