I think the last one is Doc. Ralph Brooks' AMANUSA, Orbit Prototype Proportional, 1963 World Champion after a fly-off with Fritz Bosh. The airplane was never kitted nor the drawing published.
The fourth one might be a Jetco Citation.

P.S. I hope the pictures have been loaded, this time...

"Skyliner" designed by Marty Meyers. Published Flying Models Aug/Sept 1965.

#4 is Marty Meyer's Skyliner published in Flying Models, a contest ship for AMA Class II in 1965. Plans are available from FM. #5 is Jackie Gardner's Penetrator for AMA Class I around the same year. Plans are available from RCM.

Shot #3 looks like a rather imaginative modification of a Jim Martin Banshee. Must say I rather like it :)

I can only recognise #4 as Jackye Gardner's  PENETRATOR  (RCM plan #182)......was AMA class 1 a rudder only class ( eventually rudder/throttle)  ?

N.B.  Please no allusions on the model's name and my nick name........;)</p>

RE: Need help to identify 6 classics..
 

I'm curious what the white-red-blue #2 might be. I think I have seen it as a kit in some RC catalog and possible also seen that type of airplane flying in 1976-1977 or so in contest here in Sweden. I just can not remember what name this plane has (Sky Bird, ???Bird something like that is on my tounge). I think it has glassfibre fuselage and foam wings if it is the plane I remember. Wish I had not thrown all my old catalogs, old model airplane magazines etc many years ago. It was hundreds and hundreds of issues of various magazines... from beginning of 1970th to early 1980th.

I THINK THE FOURTH PIC ON THE TOP IS A CLASS 1 GENI

RE: Need help to identify 6 classics..
 

Thanks fellows !
The #2 for me resembles a slight modified Tiger Tail, with a taller deck and a different rudder shape

I agree with you Ray, it does have that Banshee look. The vertical fin is different and it looks like the nose moment is longer also. I too like the way it looks. Pic #1 is also neat looking, kinda like a P-80.

RE: Need help to identify 6 classics..
 

There was a thread on the #2 plane before.
Not sure if it was identified. I thought Banshee
also for #3.

RE: Need help to identify 6 classics..
 

roncoleman,

Do You know what thread that was for #2 plane?
I have checked all threads I could think of from now to the last in this Classic Pattern Flying forum but must have missed it.

Unfortunately, I really don't see the Tiger Tail in pic #2. It is a nice lookin model though.....

Looking at that thread it seems like pic #2 is a much modified Mach 1. The tapered strip ailerons would be a clue as not many designs had this feature. Amazing what you can do with a big bubble canopy and a bit of imagination :)

About #2 airplane:

I have posted in orginal thread what(I think) I know about this plane. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=8948071

I do not think it is a modified Mach 1. The fuselage is just to wide and #2 airplane seems more mid-wing then low-wing.
Here is a picture of my Mach 1 bult in winter 1975 (and I flown it for 2 or 3 years) so we can compare. I also added from the orginal thread 3 pictures here of #2 plane. The builder of #2 plane seems to come from Sweden if you read the orginal thread.

No. 4. I could be wrong, but I have been thinking about that shoulder wing bird since he put it up here. I am going to guess it is a Tauri. Never heard of it ? I think it came out sometime after the name Taurus was hung out there and it got famous.

Does the name "Tauri" ring a bell with anyone ?

Crank

RE: Need help to identify 6 classics..
 

Crank - see post #7. It's a Penetrator for sure.

Ray

RE: Need help to identify 6 classics..
 

Ray - That is going way back. Think you are right.

Crank

RE: Need help to identify 6 classics..
 

The Tauri was a Kazmirski design that was kitted by Top Flite. I don't think the design was published in any U.S. publication, but it was published overseas. It started out as a 3-channel high-wing trainer that eventually got ailerons. It had a canopy on the wing (ala Falcon 56), and if the wing was modified for ailerons, the servo went under the canopy. BTW the canopy was the same one as used on the Orion and Taurus. I have a Tauri kit in my stash, one of the cool things about it (other than being a Kazmirski design), the paint scheme features the signature Kazmirski red, white and black trim scheme.

Thanks for the update on the Tauri FB. Since #4 was posted, it was the only plane I could think of. If you dig it out, post a picture if there is one on the box. I remember it had some Kaz influence.

Crank

RE: Need help to identify 6 classics..
 

Crank - here are the Tauri (1964) and the Penetrator (1966) for comparison. FB may have a better Tauri shot.
