The Ku-4 is a Kayaba experimental tailless airplane. Probably a Ku-3 or Ku-3 tailless glider with an engine. reply | | Sid Trevethan, e-mail, 19.03.2016 17:43 The photograph is a Ku-8 II because of the hinged door reply | | Tony French, e-mail, 22.12.2011 17:16 Dear Fellow Aeroplane Fanciers, Great glider and interesting context. I wonder about Jap airborne ops of which I have never heard. Use of word "bugger" indicates Australian correspondent, as am I.
Please bear with me when I change the subject - I cannot find a drawing of the Nakajima Ki-4 Army Type 94 biplane - a superb subject for flying scale peanuts - my passion. It has beautiful eliptical wings, generous flying surfaces and dihedral, and lots served in China from 1934 as reconnaissance planes. Would be grateful for assistance Tony reply | | Mike, e-mail, 09.05.2011 15:52 I have been claiming in my lectures on Japanese Aircraft that these were used operationally in the Philipines and at Palembang. I am buggered if i can now recall where the hell I found that info. Can anyone help?? reply | |
| | deaftom, e-mail, 02.03.2011 00:40 Mykla: No engine. (Hint: "Ku" was the Japanese Army designation for gliders. "Ki" was for powered airplanes.) reply | | Windswords, e-mail, 01.12.2010 19:18 The Ku-8 was developed from the army Ki-59 transport by removing the engines, gas tanks, and revising the landing gear. The Ku-8-I could carry up to 18 troops, the Ku-8-II up to twenty. reply | | Mykla, 18.10.2010 17:03 Does it have an engine? reply | | Mario Monteiro, e-mail, 05.07.2008 03:44 I am Brazilian!!! very , very good your photographs> have you drawings????
