I think this is an Airtech DHC-3-1000, based on the Otter with a 1000 HP Polish made PZL ASz-62 9 Cylinder radial engine. http://en.wikipedia....PolishOtter.jpg Hard to find a picture from the right angle, but the engine is also used in the Antonov AN-2, which has a better picture available on Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia....led_in_An-2.jpgJust my totally uneducated guess....

Just in case it helps anyone guess, here's a rough stab at an extrapolation of the picture, courtesy of a bit of hasty sketching up in Photoshop:Al

That's pretty cool, I'm not sure about the number of blades, though. Does anyone see any evidence or hints that suggest the number of blades??

Its 2 or 3 I think. 4 or more, you would have another blade in the frame. Not that many radial engines with big cowelings that use 2 bladed props, but the safe bet is a 3.

I'm going to guess Cessna 190/195.

Not sure about the Cessna 195. At that angle, I think you would see the upper wing. I think if its anything, its got a low slung wing.

Lo Slung Wing - sounds like a Chinese test pilot.Al

Well SOMEONE needs to test those 162's!

The plane could be in a climb and thats why the angle is like that.

:LMAO:

I think it could be a Boeing 377 Stratocruiser.I did hear rumors that MS were trying to get licences from Boeing, it could be a posibility.

Okay, okay, I spoke too quickly, I was just trying to think outside the box. However a radial engine in the tail would be pretty awesome...

Oh, we're all just having fun here. Keep thinking outside the box! That's often where the best thoughts come from.

I agreeBecause MS has just started to sell Maule and RV-6 therefore from a marketing point of view introducing a blockbuster plane ( a sexy big Stratocruiser for instance ) would kill the just released planes DLC. ...And MS intend to maximize the revenue coming from the Maule and RV6.A Beaver would be a good guess as well because her mission wouldn't overlap the Maule ones and a Beaver would simply extend them to fill a concept already introduced with the Icon.When guessing the plane I think we shouldn't take into consideration only the blade shape or our wishes but we should take into consideration how a plane fits the row of Flight planes from a business point of view, in the detail MS business point of view.

My guess is it's a DHC-2 Beaver.
