VH-KDK Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 A couple of unusual planes. 1. The Miles Libellula 5/8 scale of an intended high speed bomber. 2. The dragonfly on the tail of a Flying Flea or Mignet HM.14 to give it it's proper name. Been trying to get this one to work in P3D for ages but tried something different today and success at last. Thank you Amentiba for giving me the inspiration for one last try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bernd1151 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Great shots, Martyn, the "Mignet" is the smallest plane I have seen for quite some time. The name is similar to a car of equally small size: the Triumph Midget. A friend of mine owned one. It was the only car I never drove myself, as at 6'3" I was not able to get into it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 That first one Martyn is quite futuristic looking for its time. I've never seen it before and I like it. How does it fly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradB Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 That second one Martyn is what I would call a real " Wide Body" , looks more like a kite . Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 The Libellula is a great design (I have never seen this one befire), an invitation to wikipedia! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_M.39B_Libellula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adambar Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Almost missed this post Martyn, almost to the bottom of the second page. Nice ones, I would have a hard time getting in the second one and an even harder time getting out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some great looking cars in that era. On 6/03/2017 at 1:47 AM, Jack Sawyer said: That first one Martyn is quite futuristic looking for its time. I've never seen it before and I like it. How does it fly? Flies great in FS Jack and for such a radical design apparently it flew very well in RL. On 6/03/2017 at 2:44 AM, Iain Emms said: Fine shots. cheers Iain Thank you Iain.

I would say that with the Flying Flea, if you stomped hard enough you could exit by dropping out through the floor 13 hours ago, paulb said: I always enjoy seeing some of the less common aircraft that you fly Martyn!
