We were walking past this plane, and I said "that's either a Jodel, or a Thorpe T-18 derivative." I couldn't tell if the outer wing panels had a higher angle of incidence or not.

It's a Jodel, I looked it up on the intarweb. I love the little logo.

Oh, and this one is built from Falconar Avia plans.

So, I'm getting pretty punch drunk entering in all these pictures. I usually look at the large set of pictures, find the next plane to write about, then create an entry with a title including the model of plane. My brain is pretty fuddled at this point, so I look, and I see "Red Plane". Anybody with a modicum of knowledge in homebuilts at least knows that this is a Dick Van Grunsven design, and with a moments perusing, you would know it's an RV-3.

Nope, red plane. Man. I need something to keep me sharp...

Pretty little all wood raceplane.

I like the faired in tail light.

Trying to get a little artistic here, forgot to take a picture of the tail so I would know the N number...

Now of course; with the obsessive data gathering megaplex that is the internet, I simply went to google and typed in "cozy race 54", and blamo, there's the N number, about 2 results down.

And then, a few minutes later I realized I had another picture of this plane, just later on, so there's one with the N number anyway...

Totally professional looking cockpit in this one.
