Cool set!

But I had to giggle a little scrolling from #2 to #3. Made me think of the Sesame Street tune "One Of These Things Is Not Like The Other....." :dance:

Thanks, guys.

That's actually an Edgley EA-7 Optica

Image

The Edgley EA-7 Optica is a British light aircraft designed for slow-speed observation work, and intended as a low-cost alternative to helicopters. The Optica has a cruise speed of 130 km/h (70 kn; 81 mph) and a stall speed of 108 km/h (58 kn; 67 mph).




BTW -That's not related to the Custer CC-W-5 Channel Wing that I saw out at the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum a year or two ago. :D

Thanks, Doug.

The Edgley Optica, although not a very traditional aircraft, is a very nice flyer.

It can be downloaded here.
