Identify classic pattern planes
Hello,
I was hoping someone might be able to help me identify a few classic pattern planes that I have in my collection. Unfortunately, the planes do not have wings. I would like to try and figure out what they are and buy/build some wings so I can fly at least one of them. The library of pictures on this forum has helped, but I am just not certain on there identity. Any help you can offer would be appreciated. #1 Red, Nutcracker? Compensator? #2 White, Corsair? #3 Green fiberglass Saturn ? #4 White/yellow tail, Intruder? #5 Orange canopy, T2A? |

#3 "the green" is likely Ivan Kristensen's Saturn. The red plane is by Warren Hitchcox at the Canadian Nationals in Winnipeg in 1978.

Thanks for the help. I think your right about the T2A.
The picture looks like Siesta Key, FL beach sand. Unfortunately, its 70 degree cooler and there is no where to swim. At least the sun was shining today. |

Red one could well be a Nutcracker, here's a snip from the plans.

Red one IS a Nutcracker (level of certainty - 95%)
The one kn the middle is a Saturn (100% certain) The last one is a T2-A Mk. I (100%certain) Between Saturn & T2-A, an Intruder (85%) The one with the short turtledeck/midway canopy seems familiar but at the moment, can't come up with a name. |

Thanks for all the help guys. I am now closer to figuring out what wings to buy for these planes.

Yes it does look like Seista Key sand. Excellent choice of beach. I'll be there next month. Sorry for off topic.

Where do you intend on buying the wings from?
