allardjd 1,853 Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 But can it lay an egg? I've seen photos of that one before but don't know what it is or where it's based. Such poor taste in flying objects is more commonly seen in the hot air balloon genre, though there are exceptions like this one. John 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 I'll bite, it's known as the Aero'Polo IIRC. It looks like it is a custom one of a kind homebuilt around the Waterman Aeromobile model, but only very loosely. I think I found the builder's Facebook page: Daniel Beltrame. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,315 Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 I thought I saw that bird around somewhere, good job Matt. Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Godden 943 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Matt, I'll beg to differ on both the designer and aircraft name. I think you will find the designer was Ottone Baggio and the aircraft is the Baggio Il Gallo. Gallo being Italian for rooster, and the aircraft does the regular airshow circuit in Italy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baggio_Il_Gallo 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 I stand corrected, and Andrew takes the win. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 That's the one Andrew. proof if proof were needed that ugly planes can fly! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvgE8w-ucmw Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Yep, and since it's a rooster, it shouldn't be able to lay an egg. John 1 Link to post Share on other sites
