If anyone is wanting to buy anything from Topaz Studios they are having a Christmas sale. The utility bundle that's usually $249 is now $175. Don't remember the prices on the rest of their products.

Nice set of photos!
All of the aircraft except for #5 and #7 are referred to as Tail Draggers. The aircraft in photo #7 is known as a Rotorwing aircraft.
In the rotorcraft (helicopter) world the nut that is used to attach the rotorblades hub to the main shaft is commonly referred to as the 'Jesus Nut'. There are two definitions for why, 1. When the nut comes off and the blades leave the helicopter, the pilot is usually heard saying "Oh, Jesus!!!!!!" and 2. That is the first person the pilot will meet! (Helicopter peoples humor).

#1 is a Cessna 180, #2 looks like a CAP-10, #3 is a Piper Cub, #4 i think is a home built, #5 may be another home built, #6 has been identified as the AirCam, #7 is a Citabria (airbatic spelled backwards). I towed gliders with one of these. #8 may be an Aerospatial chopper.


Thanks for ID on everything!

Almost like an old car show - a lot of variety and what appears to be a lot of personal input in terms of paint jobs! Nice set!


Thanks. We were really surprised that there were so many and so different.

Nice set TnGrandma, presented very well. Fly - In's unusually have breakfast available. If go for a ride- go up in aircraft first than eat. It is a beautiful feeling getting the birds eye view of the landscape. Got my pilot license in 1988 and love it up there! thanks for sharing these.


Thanks. They started later and did have lunch but I'm not brave enough to go up in one.

Nice variety and nice images.

That little bright yellow one (Cub Yellow) is a Piper Cub and made from 1938-1947, 19,888 in the US and 150 in Canada. Mostly in military variations for WW II. They also built 253 glider variations with no engine.

It was built as two seat trainer so while the instruments are all in front both seats have controls in the civilian models. Some of the early ones had a balance quirk - made for an instructor and student pilot in the two seats and the plane was balance for someone in both the front and back seats. So someone flying it alone sat in the back seat to properly balance the aircraft unless they put something in the back seat for weight. It could only carry from about 600 to less than 900 lbs dependent on the model and engine. A couple of new models were produced from 1947 to 1981 then Piper sold the rights to someone else. Piper's "Super Cub" was rated for 830 lbs load had a 150 hp engine and did a horrendus 130 mph. Thousands have been rebuilt, custom built or built under license in at least 4 countries since then and they even had "kits" to build your own. Those first ones in 1938 cost $995 according to one source I read.

I am not a pilot, just a retired history teacher with a lot of curiosity and fair research skills. Years ago I had a friend with his license and he lusted after owning one of his own.

Thanks for all your information.
