Default Need help identifying this plane.

I can't figure out what this is. I recently acquired a large estate of some one who passed away and I found this huge wing (100inch+) and a strange fuselage. It lookes like a massive flying wing but idk what to make of it.


Do any of you guys recognize it?

Default RE: Need help identifying this plane.

Actually I hav several planes I needed help with.
I have no idea what the 2nd plane is. It has a Fiberglass fuselage.
I believe the 3rd is a Lanier laser 200 1/3 scale.

The first is one of Bill Evans' 'Scimitar' tailless flying wings. Great flier!

Thanks a lot! Wow what a awesome plane! I'm looking forward to finishing it. The guy did really good job building it.
Now I just need to figure out what the 2nd plane is....

Hey Eric,

The second one looks allot like a classis pattern plane called a Dirty Birdy. If you don't get a positive ID of the plane here, I suggest you post a few pictures of the plane from different angles in the Classic Pattern Forum.

Take care,
David

Thanks I will look it up and see if it resembles my plane. Here is another picture.

Try asking that question at this forum. You'll get a ton of info on the plane. I agree with everyone else, it's most likely one of Bill Evan's Simitar designs

Just my $.02

The second one is a Dirty Birdy identified by the tail feathers. The tail was more rounded for the Dirty Birdy,, and more squared off for the other Bridi designs such as the UFO, XLT and the Escape. That's a nice find.

My bad, I didn't read your second post close enough. I see you already know what it is.

I think the first is a Bill Evans Desperado. I built one years ago. I was thinking of building a turbine powered one now. Great flyer.
