Help Id This Plane Please !!! Someone
HI I AM ATTACHING (I HOPE) SOME PICTURES OF A PLANE THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT IT IS. I do know it says SKYLANE on it. Here are thedetails I have:
Wing Span 86" tapering from 10" down to 7"
Fusaluge 47"
Weight 13 lbs With nothing in it. Sheeted all around that's why it is so heavy
It has flaps and ailerons. It has a double firewall so it can be removed with engine intact (i geuss). Pictures are not loading (can you help?)
I can email 4 pictures that give a good look of the plane.

Picca
I talked with Picca last year and they say no. If I could even find out what the cowl would even look like and some place to make one. That might even help. It is some thing I would like to get going. I tried a year or so ago before I knew about all this. I am really looking forward to it now.

It might be a Pica 182.
I had one, and it looks similar. I believe they made a 1/6 and a 1/5. I had the smaller one.
The one I had had two hardwood engine mounts that went to the second bulkhead and a plywood formed fuel tank box (not sure if this bigger one would have the sam construction, though).

Pica
I talked to Pica when I first got the thing and they say the 9" firewall is not in there design's. Thanks. Keep them coming. I am really getting in to this again and want to figure it out.

It looks like a 172 to me.
The long extension on the front/bottom of the rudder gives it away.

I believe it is a 152..... engine cowl doesn't appear to be long enough to be a 172 or 182. Really bad angle to tell from.
The rear window looks right for a 152 as well.

The snow ball just melted, In 1976 I built this type kit . Check out Royal 182 Senior I think that the Co in Japan still makes it.

I think it is Maratuka or some thing like that. I found plane in my album and the only difference i see is I didn't put on the numbers.
