That sucker will never get off the ground. Check out the deflection on that control surface. I would say that the pilot is travelling with the "Not Ready for Flight Time Players." -- Andrew Chaplin SIT MIHI GLADIUS SICUT SANCTO MARTINO (If you're going to e-mail me, you'll have to get "yourfinger." out.)

Oh, yeah, and I imagine that elevator position would make for some interesting take off maneuvers. On the other hand, sure has enough wheels to grip the roadway. Looks Russian or East European ... anyway, Vladimir, have your peeps call my peeps via the Telephonic Speaking Device, eh? We'll work out first rights on the crash photos ... Dave

Amphibian ordered by Henry Deutsch and build by Gabriel Voisin, for 1 pilot and 6 passengers. Clerget engine 200HP, pusher prop driven by a chain between the quad booms carrying the fins. Actually not a death trap at all: the hydro-aérobus did carry the expected load of 6 passengers, both from water and from airstrips. Did not crash, and was finally abandoned when the customer found it too difficult to fly for his skills. Voisin re-used the parts. dan Dang! We learn something everyday. Thanks for the info. Cheers, Dave (Aeroplane Teamster)
