Can't help you with those Mitch.

The orange one will be a quickie floater, with the built up elevator and OS35 motor?. Interesting way to position a fuel tank on that one.

I don't have a clue Mitch! I wonder why the tank is mounted like that when there is all that room before the firewall, prob balance but, I would have just added a bit of weight up front. Still though, re-fueling would be much easier with that setup. Cool planes man!

Maybe a weak motor that was having a hard time pulling fuel thru the lines,,get the tank more level with the carb needle, do it does not have to work so hard to draw fuel uphill (from the bottom deck deck of the fuse)

The orange and white one in the bottom pics is a Lil Esquire, I believe. The cheek blocks are missing.

Here's a link to plans: http://my.pclink.com/~dfritzke/Lil%20Esquire.pdf

I don't recognize the red one at all; it may well be a custom plane. Usually planes of this era had a cabin of some sort, but the red fuselage is flat on top. A guess might be that the wing and built-up stab were from a crashed Esquire, Trisquire or Mambo and fuselage was just cobbled up to use the parts. Certainly it's older since built-up stabs are not seen much on smaller planes today.
