Hi,

Mr. Filip Mihail was a Romanian designer,he created at first two patents for airplanes,considered a Type I & II,
after that came the Type III in late of 1920s and followed by Type IV,all details are in the site.

Loved the look of this little beastie, so started a small trawl to find out more. First up a couple of extra pictures, the first showing a rear three quarter view of the Stabiloplan IV. The second is a series of pictures including the first one with Filip Mihail with the Stabiloplan nestled under the wing of the ANT-14 Pravda, the second could be the type during the build process, but I am not sure, whilst the third shows how easy it was to tow the type behind a car.

Next up is another GA drawing with a bonus pic of Mr Mihail.

And last but not least two artworks of the Stabiloplan III and the Stabiloplan IV together with some pictures of scratchbuilt models. The red and cream one is at 1/72 scale, whilst the blue one was built to 1/15 scale. And if you want to see the type take to the skies once more watch
