I was correct initially, it is Margratifera Falcata that lives over 100 years,
Gonidiae do not

 

Speaking of Shinden....

lol, this guy is really improving!
"1942" by tochy was crap, "1945" was good, but now he really started doing amazing clips!
(more to see at http://www.angel.ne.jp/~tochy/ )

 

Do not mistake Shiden for Shinden 2 different planes.

 

sry, i barely read the post as i was still focused on Tochy's new one, which i'd just found

 

Now i do my penance with an essay on the difference of the two, 100% plagarized from the 'net:

Shiden:

Kawanishi 'George' N1K Shiden

(Japan)
The N1K1-J was a landplane version of the impressive N1K1 Kyofu 'Rex' seaplane fighter. It showed to be one of the best Japanese fighters, with an unmatched maneuvrability, sturdy, powerful, and well armed. Its structure was heavy and complex, and the N1K2-J Shiden-Kai was a thoroughly redesigned aircraft, more adapted to the landplane configuration. The most visible change was that the N1K2-J was a low-wing aircraft, while the N1K1-J had a mid-wing configuration. Actually the N1K2-J had little more in common with the N1K1-J than the wings and the engine. 1453 built.

Shinden ]:

Kyushu J7W Shinden

(Japan)
The J7W was a small fighter of canard configuration. It had an excellently streamlined fuselage, small canards, swept wings, and a 2130hp engine driving a six-bladed pusher propellor. Potentially one of the fastest piston-engined fighters ever built, the single J7W was flown for only 45 minutes. It was planned to fit a jet engine later.

there are some data, but nothing special.

it was stable? how fast it can climb? There were some perfidious natures? I know it has superb automatic flower flaps and it has telescopic stick for better high speed handling with longer stick and shorter stick for better low speed manuevering. How fast it can roll? those are only basic data.

Speaking about shiden could be good for nature engllish speaking man but not for me.
