Hi Mike!
Can I say that you are not wrong:very_drunk:
The only Deauville with a tri-gear. All others (including this one at a later stage) had the more familiar tail wheel.
You forced yourself into this situation, so we expect "and now for something completely different"
 
Turned in the empty bottles of the last 3 months, so have some money again.
This time put in on the Aero Dynamics Sparrow Hawk.
 
Thanks giruXX:encouragement:
This one was originally planned as a single-seater, but the selection of amore powerful engine resulted in ending up as s-b-s 2-seater.

Hi friends:encouragement:
Yes she is Russian, but not from St.Petersburg. My photo caption says "allegaartje""which is, roughly, Dutch for parts of miscellaneous aircraft.
Not surprisingly, I supplied the engine.
 
hi fabulousfour:very_drunk:
She IS the Aist-123M. Very nice Columbo work:applause:
This is what got on her: homebuilt aircraft that was built by students of a Volgograd (Moscow) school/club and members of the Aeroclub Aist-M of Myachkovo (Moscow). The Aeroclub had been founded by Messrs. Alexander and Vyacheslav Markalov and the initiative came from their father Mr. Anatoly M. Markalov. The aircraft was at an early stage planned as single-seater with a modified Ural motorcycle engine, but this was soon changed into a side-by-side 2-seatere to make it suitable as trainer for the aeroclub. The AIST-123M used the (modified) wings and tail section of a Zlin Z-326 and reportedly the fuselage was largely based on that of a Zlin Z-142. The one-of-a-kind aircraft was fitted with one 140hp (160hp) Walter/LOM M332 engine and was completed and first flown in 1987 after construction had started some 8 years earlier.

Looking forward to your next challenge
