It is to me anyway. Anyone know what this is?

Ron, knowing the wingspan may shed some light. It looks to me like a Veco Papoose without the cockpit. I believe the Warrior was similar, but the stab looks like the Papoose. Ken

OK Ken I will measure it. Thanks!!

Ron, it looks like an orangish-maroon, low-winger with a crushed rib. Hope that helps! I do like the decal... our ancestry used to be quite creative, back when people were modelers.

By the way, I have some "Legacy" airplanes, that I inherited 15 or 20 years ago, that I do not know their make or brand. Would it be okay to show them here, and see what our friends identify them to be? I have flown them, but do not wish to anymore, since I like keeping them intact.

Post 'em up. I won't know what any of them are, but I love looking at pictures. Very Happy

Yeah Man, fire away! This would be a good thread to do it in.

The wingspan is roughly 35 3/4" Ken.

Hey yeah, it does look similar.

Okay y'all, see if you can help with what these planes are called. My best guess is that the trike is at least 30 years old, and has a 40 inch wing. The profile job has a 30 inch wing. Both are silkspan and dope. They may be something the guy just "whipped-up" but who knows? Help me learn about these, and have fun! Thanks!
