Evan is close. It is a RC model of an ASH-26E. Just happened to have Skip's ID. Look closely at the 'pilot' his head ain't screwed on just right. Course you could say that about a lot of soaring pilots.
Funny! Okay, that explains a few things. That definitely *isn't* the right fuselage shape for the 26 -- from tailboom back it looks more -27 ish to me (too skinny to hold an engine).
The Contest ID is familiar, but I don't recognize the registration number.

The German flag on the tail and D number says it ain't so, Diane.
ReplyDeleteIt does look like a 24 though...
Man Skip gets around...
ReplyDeleteLooks like an early prototype of the ASH-26. Production version has a slightly different fuselage shape, wing tips, orange spoilers.

ReplyDeleteYou guys obviously don't look for clues in the mouseover text.
ReplyDeleteAND WHO'S BEEN TAMPERING WITH IT?
ReplyDeleteI was going to ask the same thing... pretty sure the mouse over text wasn't there at all when it was first posted -- I surely didn't see it.
ReplyDeleteIt was there but it said 'Is it fake' someone, not I, changed it to 'Not Fake'
