RE: Name that Plane!
Firstplaceaviator,
You could be right but there are enough minor discrepencies between the Nosen Trainer specs I found from a guy selling a NIB kit and my bird. Specs say span 102" and mine is 100". Specs say length 70" mine is 68". Specs say stab span 32" mine is 34-1/2". Specs say weight 10 to 12# (probably assuming a .60 to .90) and mine is 17# with the Enya. These are all within reasonable build variations, especially if the builder changed the tail feathers to be more .Citabria-like" (I've yet to find a photo of the Nosen Trainer). But I read that the Trainer used tubes to join the wings and mine has spar joiner plates. Also, remember the oriental characters stamped on the formers. Did Nosen have any kits cut overseas?
